Databricks built a decade of platform trust — this page spends it introducing a database product nobody asked for yet.
“Explore the product”
Replace 'Explore the product' with a next step that matches where these buyers actually are — something that moves them toward a trial, a demo, or at minimum a live product experience. Add a secondary option (like 'Talk to sales') so enterprise buyers with a procurement motion have their own lane.

Not five scoring areas. Five questions, asked in sequence. The page is judged on how many it answers before the visitor gives up.
The homepage opens with "The database your AI agents deserve" — a headline that positions Databricks as a database company, specifically for Lakebase, a product that didn't exist in the market's understanding of Databricks six months ago.
▸ Read the full takeCollapseBut Databricks is not a database company. It's the platform that 60% of the Fortune 500 uses for data, analytics, AI, and governance — a category it has spent a decade building. Subordinating that entire platform story to a single new product launch in the hero means every visitor who arrives looking for the data lakehouse, the ML platform, the ETL tooling, or the governance layer has to mentally translate the page before they can place themselves in it. The fix is structural: the hero needs to lead with the platform — the thing the brand actually owns — and introduce Lakebase as the newest capability within it, not as the definition of what Databricks is.
The page lists six distinct product areas — Lakebase, Genie, Agent Bricks, Lakehouse, Lakeflow, and a data warehouse — without telling the visitor which one to care about first or how they relate to each other.
▸ Read the full takeCollapseA data engineer evaluating ETL infrastructure, an ML engineer building agents, and a CDO shopping for a governance layer all land on the same page and receive the same undifferentiated list. The page treats every visitor as if they arrived with no specific job to do. The structural move is to add a routing layer — either a segmented entry point ("I'm building agents / I'm managing data / I'm governing AI") or a clear platform narrative that shows how the pieces connect before listing them individually. Right now the page reads as a product catalog, not a platform story.
The summit promotion — "DATA + AI SUMMIT, JUNE 15–18, SAN FRANCISCO, last chance to save 50%, early-bird pricing ends soon" — appears twice in the page body and competes directly with the product CTA.
“AD: "Data+AI Summit is back. Hear leaders and luminaries on the latest in GenAI, machine learning, analytics and data governance." | LP: "The database your AI agents deserve. Lakebase is serverless Postgres for applications that scale. Explore the product"”

A visitor who arrived to evaluate Databricks as a platform is now being asked to register for a conference before they've understood what the product does for them. The summit is a legitimate business asset, but placing it this prominently in the page body means the page has two conversion goals fighting each other. Move the summit to a persistent banner or a dedicated section below the product proof; the product evaluation path should be unobstructed from hero to CTA.
The only CTA above the fold is "Explore the product" — a label that asks the visitor to do more work before they get anything back.
▸ Read the full takeCollapseFor a platform with 20,000 customers and Fortune 500 penetration, the page has the proof to offer something more concrete: a trial, a live demo, a specific product walkthrough. "Explore the product" is the CTA of a company that isn't sure what it wants the visitor to do next. The page also never escalates — the same passive invitation appears throughout without differentiating by visitor intent or stage. Add a second CTA path that gives the visitor something immediate (a sandbox, a guided demo, a specific product tour for their role), and differentiate the CTA language as the visitor moves deeper into the page.
