Is databricks suitable to be used as an application database? I have been asked to build a fairly large CRM type app, databricks will use the data from this for analysis. I am thinking if i built the application database inside of databricks then i can simplify the later process of getting the data out of an sql type database.

Is databricks suitable as an application database or should it be only used for Datalake and warehousing.
