Cloud

Databricks, Inc. · Cloud & infra marketplaces

Best for: Data providers and Databricks customers that need governed discovery, request, and sharing of datasets and related data assets inside Databricks.

Overview

Databricks Marketplace is Databricks’ catalog and exchange for discovering data products and other data assets. Providers publish listings under a provider profile, while consumers browse listings and request or install access from Databricks workspaces. Marketplace uses OpenSharing for secure sharing and requires a Unity Catalog-enabled workspace; provider accounts must be on the Premium plan. Public providers apply through the Databricks Data Partner Program, while private-exchange-only providers can onboard through the provider console. Listings must include accurate product information, documentation, terms, update frequency, and applicable personal-data disclosures. Databricks may review material listing changes and may remove providers or listings that do not comply with policy.
