The integration of CARTO with Databricks aims to empower data scientists by providing a seamless workflow for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning. CARTO's Direct SQL Connection feature allows users to access their database from Databricks notebooks, enabling transformations such as wide-to-long conversions that are challenging in relational databases. In contrast, CARTOframes is a Python package that enables spatial analysis, enrichment, and stunning visualizations directly within the notebook, ideal for geospatial data visualization or when scalability is not an issue. Users can access these features by following specific instructions to set up connections and install packages, with support available from Customer Success Managers for any issues encountered.
