Surprised about the negativity in this thread. I think Databricks is astoundingly good tech.
Getting developers, analysts and data scientists on one platform and using their preferred languages is very well done.
Nice collaborative interface.
Massive cost avoidance in terms of building spark clusters and tooling.
Combining warehouses and lakes.
Spark is a bit tricky to use vs some of the alternatives, but I think they absolutely nail it.
Dinged me for a job at the qualification stage but I won't hold that against them.
- Tanjreeve 5y agoWhat's that saying about software everyone hates Vs software noone uses? Much as I have some reservations with 'Spark all the things' Personally I think Databricks are world changing in terms of how much they opened up pretty non trivial applications to companies that would not be able to run a massive spark cluster.
