Faced with a strategic shift toward marketplace autonomy, Adevinta transformed its global data+AI strategy by migrating from complex DIY stacks on GCP and AWS to a unified Databricks platform in under 4 ¿? months. This session, led by our Principal Architect and Product Director, provides a deep dive into how we overcame technical and organisational "old ways of working" to achieve this high-velocity transition. Beyond data engineering and data warehousing capabilities, we will focus on how we migrated our AI/ML platform to Databricks, demonstrating how a unified foundation in Unity Catalog and the Databricks AI stack has accelerated our migration and time to production, and how this foundation is now helping in our ambition to unlock even more value from data+AI across the company.
