Improved Query Performance: Utilizing Databricks CloudFetch with Sigma
Blog post from Sigma
Databricks CloudFetch, a new integration implemented by Sigma with the Go-driver, significantly enhances data retrieval performance by boosting query performance by 5-10% and enabling faster, more efficient data transfer between Databricks and business intelligence tools like Sigma. CloudFetch addresses traditional latency and bandwidth issues by using high-bandwidth connectivity, allowing Sigma to bypass the SQL warehouse and fetch stored data directly from cloud storage via a pre-signed URL, thus reducing retrieval time. This integration not only facilitates real-time analytics and timely decision-making but also enhances user experience through optimized data transfer and scalability, maintaining performance improvements as data needs expand. Additionally, CloudFetch contributes to cost efficiency by reducing operational costs and optimizing resource utilization, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure investments. Overall, CloudFetch is a transformative advancement for Sigma users, offering improvements in speed, user experience, and cost-effectiveness without requiring any user action to access its benefits.
