Fivetran access is now available in Partner Connect for all users, making it much easier to ingest data into Databricks using Fivetran. This is great news for Databricks customers as they now have the ability to bring data into the Lakehouse from a wide range of connectors offered by Fivetran, including popular platforms like Salesforce and PostgreSQL.

What is Partner Connect?

Partner Connect is a convenient portal that allows customers to quickly discover and integrate a variety of validated data, analytics, and AI tools with their Databricks Lakehouse across multiple cloud providers. It simplifies the process of integrating these tools directly within the Databricks Lakehouse, transforming how technology partners collaborate with Databricks by providing deep integrations that reach thousands of customers within the platform.

How does Fivetran work in Partner Connect?

Previously, only admins with elevated privileges were able to establish a workspace-level connection to Fivetran via Partner Connect. This meant that other users had to rely on admins to create a connection for them or manually create a connection themselves using documentation, which could be time-consuming. However, with the recent improvement, any user with the right permissions can now establish a connection to Fivetran through the native Partner Connect experience. To create a connection, users simply need to click on the Fivetran tile and select a catalog where they have CREATE SCHEMA permissions and a SQL Warehouse. Partner Connect will generate a Personal Access Token and provide all necessary information to establish the connection. Users will then be directed to the Fivetran website to sign in or start a trial.

In addition to this workflow, users can also access a similar experience by selecting a Fivetran data source in the ‘Add data’ section.

Benefits of the new Fivetran access

This update allows data teams and analysts to directly ingest data into their Databricks workspace within minutes, eliminating the need for admin access. This empowers all users to be more independent and agile in their data ingestion process without compromising governance or security. The simplicity and efficiency of this new feature make it a valuable addition to the Databricks platform.
