Sigma is a Launch Partner for Databricks Lakehouse // RT

Databricks Lakehouse//RT is a newly introduced real-time data warehouse designed to deliver millisecond query performance without the need for data duplication or a separate serving system, addressing the limitations of traditional lakehouse architectures that struggle with high concurrency and sub-second query response times. Sigma, as a launch partner, leverages its architecture to push compute directly to the data warehouse, benefiting from Lakehouse//RT's capabilities, which enable real-time operational analytics, business intelligence, and app serving workloads to run efficiently on existing Delta tables with full governance under Unity Catalog. The integration with Databricks' ZeroBus Ingest ensures minimal end-to-end latency, while Sigma's forthcoming ETL Cache feature will allow pre-materialization of computationally complex results, enhancing performance without sacrificing data freshness. This collaboration signifies a significant advancement in real-time analytics, particularly for user-facing applications, high-volume product analytics, and AI agent workflows, with Sigma actively developing a Lakehouse//RT connector in partnership with Databricks to maximize these capabilities.
