Databricks has officially launched a serverless service for real-time data collection called Zerobus Ingest, SiliconANGLE reported on Feb. 23 local time.
The service allows applications to send event data directly to Delta tables without a message broker. It supports reducing infrastructure costs and minimising latency.
Databricks said Zerobus Ingest is built on a serverless architecture and can scale automatically without manual configuration. The company stressed it adopted a single-sink approach instead of an existing multi-sink architecture, reducing maintenance burdens that occur in Kafka-based pipelines.
Developers can use gRPC, REST APIs and SDKs for Python, Java, Rust, Go and TypeScript to write data directly to a lakehouse with minimal code. Zerobus Ingest is optimised for environments that must process large volumes of data in real time, such as IoT data, clickstream analysis and cybersecurity event streams.
