We design, build, migrate, and tune Databricks lakehouse platforms, from governed data pipelines to production machine learning. You work directly with the engineers doing the work.
From a first assessment to production support, we cover every stage of a Databricks platform.
A governed Databricks lakehouse with a clear structure your data engineers and analysts can build on.
Move to Databricks from Hadoop, legacy Spark, or on-premises warehouses, or between Snowflake and Databricks.
Batch and streaming pipelines that turn raw data into trusted, analytics- and ML-ready tables.
Lower your DBU spend and speed up jobs without sacrificing reliability.
The people on your first call are the people who build it. No sales layer, no bench of juniors.
We are partners with both platforms, so our advice fits your workloads, not a vendor quota.
The pipelines and models we build are ready for the analytics, ML, and AI work that comes next.

We plan, build, and run Databricks lakehouse platforms: workspace and Unity Catalog setup, migrations, batch and streaming pipelines, machine learning workflows, and ongoing cost and performance tuning. Darkstar is a Databricks partner.
Yes. We assess your current platform, plan the migration, convert data to Delta Lake, re-platform jobs and pipelines, and validate results with parallel runs before cutover.
We audit DBU usage, right-size clusters and autoscaling, move scheduled work to job clusters, use Photon and serverless where they pay off, and tune slow jobs, with monitoring and alerts to keep spend in check.
Yes. AI and machine learning are core to Darkstar. We build feature pipelines, track and deploy models with MLflow, and connect Databricks to LLM and AI applications.
It depends on your workloads and team. Databricks often fits heavy data engineering, streaming, and machine learning; Snowflake is often the simpler fit for SQL analytics and BI. We are partners with both, so we can recommend the right one, or a combination, without a platform bias.
Yes. Darkstar is based in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and works with organizations across Virginia, in person when it helps, as well as remotely with clients throughout the United States.
