// Abstract

The world of MLOps is very complex as there is an endless amount of tools serving its purpose, and it is very hard to get your head around it. Instead of combining various tools and managing them, it may make sense to opt for a platform instead. Databricks is a leading platform for MLOps. In this discussion, I will explain why it is the case, and walk you through Databricks MLOps features.

// Bio
