some context

Why a data governance tool for Databricks?

Main problems

Like many other database platforms, Databricks may not inherently provide all the necessary support for addressing business and client-related issues. While the data you need to find the answers resides within Databricks, knowing where to begin and how to tackle client-specific challenges can be a daunting task.

Where can I find a comprehensive inventory of all data assets within my Databricks environment?
How fresh is the data displayed in the table I’m looking at?
What does the gross margin column refer to? How is it calculated ?
How are the client and the bill tables related to each other?
How can I check how fast my database is growing?

Such information cannot be found easily in Databricks, and that’s where your data governance tool comes in place, giving you the ability to document and go further than what Databricks by itself can tell you.
