Learn how to use the Reltio Console to configure a Databricks pipeline for AWS.

The Reltio Data Pipeline for Databricks delivers clean, merged, and validated profile data to your Databricks warehouse, so that you always have accurate data to inform your analytical and reporting decisions. For more information, see topic Reltio Data Pipeline for Databricks.
