At the Databricks Data + AI Summit, Dropbox Engineering Manager Chris Neat and Fivetran’s Kelly Kohlleffel discussed how Dropbox is handling rapid data growth and achieving business agility through Fivetran and Databricks. With over 700 million users and a vast data lake, Dropbox faced challenges in keeping up with integrating new tools and data sources. Fivetran's automation of data ingestion from 60 sources into Databricks transformed Dropbox's approach to data management from reactive to self-service, saving significant engineering resources and enabling Dropbox to focus on high-impact projects. This transformation particularly benefited Dropbox's marketing team, allowing them to re-instrument business metrics and build a data mart for executive decision support, significantly reducing data ingestion and reporting time. As Dropbox shifts focus to data governance to ensure data quality and compliance, the integration of Fivetran and Databricks facilitates fast, self-service data management, empowering business users and enhancing customer support with real-time insights.
