Databricks consulting · Orlando, FL
Databricks consulting for Orlando companies
Guest, booking and point-of-sale records sit in Oracle, SQL Server and vendor warehouses that disagree on who the customer is, and the cost climbs with every season. We migrate them onto a Databricks lakehouse governed by Unity Catalog, resolve identity once, and size compute to the season. The theme parks and resorts around Lake Buena Vista show it at full scale, and a Space Coast aerospace supplier or a homebuilder has its own mismatched records.

Serving
Orlando, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Winter Park
Hospitality and theme parks at a scale no other metro reaches, the country's largest simulation and training cluster beside the university, a medical city growing at Lake Nona, and the Space Coast an hour east. If you run a resort, a training system or a hospital, a wrong answer from a model reaches a guest, a trainee or a patient.
AzureTechFabric is a Databricks partner with an award-winning Databricks engineering team, 80 of them Databricks-certified, and a Temporal partner. Where a system reaches past the workspace we build on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

What databricks consulting covers
Migration off Snowflake, Synapse and Teradata
Run through TechFabric Airlift, with executable playbooks for twenty-seven source platforms, signed migration certificates, and a cutover you can reverse at two in the morning.
Unity Catalog governance
Catalogue and schema design, a grant model expressed through groups, row filters and column masks, and lineage that survives a refactor. The boundary your agents and Power BI inherit.
Lakeflow pipelines
Ingestion and Lakeflow jobs with schema evolution handled rather than hoped for, medallion boundaries drawn on purpose, and jobs that recover instead of restarting from zero.
Databricks Apps and agents
Applications that run inside the workspace under their own service principal, and agents on Unity Gateway that inherit catalogue permissions instead of routing around them.
Genie and AI/BI
Metric definitions agreed with the person who owns the number, and a benchmark suite Genie has to keep passing, so the answer holds up when finance checks it.
Cost that somebody can defend
Cluster policies, warehouse sizing, file layout and the queries that actually pay. Instrumented at build time rather than discovered on an invoice.
The peak is the specification
Orlando's busiest weeks arrive together. When the parks around Lake Buena Vista fill at Christmas and spring break, a resort's booking traffic, its card transactions and the number of staff on handsets all climb at once. Every till, kiosk and mobile checkout added for the season widens PCI DSS scope too, and version 4's future-dated requirements have been mandatory since 31 March 2025.
Load tests usually model the average day and add headroom. What breaks on the peak is usually a path nobody tested at volume, like a refund, a modification or a booking that half-completes when the payment provider times out. Those are the paths we test first, because a guest charged twice during the holiday week stays a problem long after the week is over.
We replay last season's traffic against a staging copy and list every system that touches card data. Then the booking and refund workflows get rebuilt so a step that fails resumes where it stopped, and capacity is sized to the season's curve, with compute that comes back down in January.
Clients we have done this for
A resort, ticketing or training business keeps guest or trainee records in several systems, each failing in its own way. Athlinks needed more than 400 million athlete records stitched together across disparate sources, and a serverless pipeline on Temporal gave the team automated retries and real-time visibility.
Health & Wellness
Athlinks
Athlinks had more than 400 million athlete records from sources that never agreed on who an athlete was, and a matching run that died halfway through couldn't just start again. Our engineers took the project from prototype to production as a serverless pipeline on AWS with Temporal holding the state. Failed steps now retry on their own, failures reach Slack as they happen, and the matching rules are tuned for each tier.
How an engagement runs
01
Two weeks, fixed fee
A Databricks Health Check reads the workspace and returns a scorecard: compute cost, job reliability and Unity Catalog gaps, with what to fix first. You keep the document either way.
02
Scope you can defend
For a migration, the two-week Migration Readiness Sprint inventories the estate, agrees exclusions and hands you a wave plan before anyone picks a date.
03
Build in your workspace
The work runs in your workspace and your repository, with your engineers in it from the first week, so the pattern is one they can extend.
04
Hand over with the reasoning
A written record of what was decided and why, which the next platform lead almost never gets.
Two weeks, fixed fee, and a written plan whether or not you build it with us.
Tell an engineer what you want to build
A senior engineer reads it and replies within one business day, usually with the questions that decide the first two weeks.
Around Orlando
Orlando's first Databricks user group
The Orlando Databricks User Group is new, starting with a track at Day of Data Orlando, the free conference that used to be SQLSaturday Orlando, covering Spark, Databricks SQL and Unity Catalog at Seminole State College in Sanford. Data Platform Live!, one of the six conferences inside Live! 360 Tech Con, brings the Microsoft data crowd to Universal's Royal Pacific Resort.
Day of Data's programme leans on SQL Server, Power BI and Fabric, which tells you where plenty of Central Florida data teams are starting from. For a resort operator or a hospital, a lakehouse usually arrives beside that stack before it replaces any of it. So the first questions are which reports move, who owns a guest's or a patient's identity across systems, and what Unity Catalog governs on day one.

Orlando Databricks User Group
Being new, the group's agenda is still open, and its first track covered Spark, Databricks SQL and Unity Catalog, the core of any lakehouse migration.
Volunteer organisers, part of the Databricks User Groups community. Seminole State College, 100 Weldon Blvd, Sanford (first event).
Conference · 15 to 20 November 2026
Live! 360 Tech Con 2026
Data Platform Live! is one of the six conferences here, the right room if your warehouse is SQL Server and you're weighing Fabric against Databricks.

FAQ
Databricks consulting in Orlando: common questions
Do you work with Orlando companies?
Yes, and with companies across the United States. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so we are two hours behind you from November to March and three hours behind from March to November. That leaves most of your afternoon overlapping our morning, which is usually enough.
Do you have an office in Orlando?
The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.
Can you build for a seasonal peak without paying for it all year?
Yes, and it is a design decision rather than a hosting one. Stateless services scale to the week and back, the durable workflow underneath keeps a reservation or a refund from half-completing under load, and the data platform bills by what runs. We test against the peak before it arrives, with a runbook for the day it does.
What makes you an award-winning Databricks engineering team?
In September 2026 Prove It, an app built by TechFabric engineer Ivan Vydrin, was named a winner in the Creativity & Originality track of the Databricks Community Genie-Powered App Challenge, placing second worldwide in a contest Databricks ran and judged. The announcement is on community.databricks.com and the code is public.
What level of Databricks partner are you?
TechFabric is a Databricks partner. We don't publish a tier, because tiers measure commercial relationship as much as engineering depth, and we would rather be judged on the bench and the work. Eighty of our engineers are certified, we run our own business on the stack, and the four accelerators we bring are open source.
Learn Databricks first, free
The engineers who do this work wrote a free manual for the platform, forty-three chapters from the account up, with a guided first hour on Free Edition. Most teams have somebody who needs it before anybody needs us.
How to learn Databricks
A path from zero to production: what to read, what to build, which certification is worth sitting, and in what order.
Getting started on Free Edition
From a free account to a governed table, a dashboard, a Genie answer and a small agent, in about an hour and at no cost.
