We wrote about Databricks’ origins (https://alten.capital/blog/databricks-services-partner-ecosystem) and shared an update on the company’s services partner ecosystem last year (https://alten.capital/blog/databricks-services-partner-ecosystem-update). Below is an update on the Databricks consulting partner ecosystem.
Databricks continues to experience significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for AI, data infrastructure, and analytics solutions. The company recently raised $10 billion, valuing the business at $62 billion, and reported $3 billion in annual revenue, a 60% increase compared to the previous year.
This strong performance is also reflected in the growth of its network of services partners. Comparing Q2 2024 to Q2 2025, Databricks has added approximately 230 new consulting partners, representing a 31% expansion.
When we analyze the size of the companies based on their employee numbers, we observe that the most significant increases in the past year have been among smaller organizations. Specifically, there was a 46% increase in partners with 100 to 500 employees, followed by a 32% growth in companies with fewer than 50 employees.
Databricks currently has approximately 970 services partners listed. North America leads with 43%, and Europe comes in second with a third of the partners.
Half of all services partners employ fewer than 100 team members, indicating a relevant fragmentation in this data and analytics services space.
In summary, Databricks is a key component of the modern data stack. Apache Spark’s open-source nature makes the overall approach more accessible for a larger set of users, and the platform’s web-based interface, notebook environment, and library of pre-built machine learning models make it appealing to data science and data analytics end-users.
