If people have never heard of Databricks, now is the time because a 100 billion company just started a war against them. Great marketing win Databricks.

- geoduck14 5y agoTo be fair, I've been equating Databricks for a month or so. Databricks is coming after Snowflake. Snowflake doesn't care. Snowflake has a pretty solid moat with: EASY SQL, data sharing (they have a marketplace), simple scaling
- bpaneural 5y agoYou'll need to revisit this again. In the last two years Databricks has built a lead and a bigger moat. They're essentially nice chaps with a huge community backing them. And we all love their open source tools which essentially powers not only their big data platforms, but everyone else's too (AWS, GCP).
- ageek123 5y agoDatabricks introduced an open source data sharing feature earlier this year. I don't know Databricks well enough to comment on the other two.
- glogla 5y agoDatabricks is $28B valuation and 2800 employees, Snowflake is $109 valuation and 2500 employees. They are both billion dolar companies, we're hardly talking David and Goliath here.
- alexott 5y agofor DB that's old number - recent valuation is $38B
