Semantic Models are all the rage, and have been for over a decade. With Databricks' push around AI/BI, a semantic model is a vital part of the puzzle to be taken seriously in analytics. That's exactly what Unity Catalog Metric Views are - semantic models that live inside Unity Catalog within Databricks rather than downstream BI Tools... pretty nifty! In this video Simon quickly recaps how semantic models have evolved and how to think about them, before taking a quick look at what a sample metric view, as well as it's use in AI/BI Dashboards and Genie Spaces. We'll dive into the development process, complex scenarios and more in future videos! https://hubs.la/Q03K4vdn0 #DataEngineering #AnalyticsEngineering #Databricks #UnityCatalog #SemanticModels #DataModelling #DataLakehouse

Databricks has just entered an exclusive club. The data analytics software vendor said Tuesday that it's raising a funding round that values the company at over $100 billion. That would make Databricks just the fourth private company to eclipse the $100 billion mark, following SpaceX, ByteDance and OpenAI, according to data from CB Insights. Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi told CNBC's Brian Sullivan that the total round will exceed $1 billion. The company was last valued by private investors at $62 billion in a $10 billion financing round late last year.
