Informatica, an AI-powered enterprise cloud data management leader, is expanding its collaboration with Databricks—becoming a launch partner for two major innovations from Databricks: Managed Iceberg Tables and Databricks Lakebase, a first-of-its-kind, modern database built for AI. Informatica also unveiled GenAI-focused enhancements to its Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform to accelerate data and AI at scale with Databricks.
These announcements further strengthen Informatica’s leadership in cloud data management and its deep integration with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, the companies said.
“Informatica continues to be at the leading edge of generative AI, enabling our joint customers to build a data foundation of trusted, AI-ready data,” said Rik Tamm-Daniels, group vice president of strategic ecosystems and technology at Informatica. “As a launch partner, [this] announcement showcases our ongoing commitment to innovating with Databricks to maximize customer value through deep product enhancement and partnership alignment.”
As a launch partner for Databricks Managed Iceberg Tables, Informatica enables customers to ingest, cleanse, govern and transform Iceberg-format data at enterprise scale.
This allows organizations to convert any data to Iceberg format and leverage open table formats with confidence while maintaining high-performance analytics and AI workloads on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, according to the companies.
Databricks Lakebase is a new fully managed, Postgres-compatible database that supports high-volume transactions. Informatica enables seamless data loading and transformation from over 300 sources into the Databricks PostgreSQL service. This will help customers support transactional database (OLTP) use cases by leveraging all their enterprise data assets within the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, providing uniform enterprise data management for analytics, AI and now transactional workloads.
In addition, Informatica is introducing new capabilities aimed at accelerating the adoption of AI agents and GenAI on Databricks Mosaic AI, Databricks’ suite of AI solutions that helps enterprises build and deploy quality AI agent systems. These include:
- Mosaic AI connectors for Cloud Application Integration (CAI)
- GenAI Recipes for CAI
New volume support for Informatica’s Cloud Data Integration (CDI) and Cloud Data Ingestion and Replication (CDIR) allows Databricks customers to move and manage non-tabular datasets more efficiently via Unity Catalog—reinforcing Informatica’s strength in no-code, governed data integration, the vendors said.
“As a launch partner for our Managed Iceberg Tables and Lakebase, Informatica is committed to supporting Databricks’ goal of helping customers leverage open table formats,” said Roger Murff, VP of technology partners at Databricks. “With Informatica's support for GenAI through Databricks Mosaic AI connectors and GenAI recipes, we’re enabling enterprises to streamline AI initiatives that harness data intelligence and create real business impact.”
