What is Databricks Marketplace?

This article introduces Databricks Marketplace, an open forum for exchanging data products. Databricks Marketplace takes advantage of Delta Sharing to give data providers the tools to share data products securely and data consumers the power to explore and expand their access to the data and data services they need.

How do consumers get access to data in Databricks Marketplace?

To find a data product you want on the Databricks Marketplace, simply browse or search provider listings and request access to the data products that you want.

You can browse:

• The Open Marketplace, which does not require access to a Databricks workspace.
• The Databricks Marketplace on your Databricks workspace. Just click Marketplace.

To get access to data products in the Marketplace, you must use the Marketplace on a Databricks workspace.

Some data products are available to everyone in the public marketplace, and others are available as part of a private exchange, in which a provider shares their listings only with member consumers. Whether public or private, some data products are available immediately as soon as you request them and agree to the terms. Others might require provider approval and transaction completion using provider interfaces. In either case, the Delta Sharing protocol that powers the Marketplace ensures that you can access shared data securely.
