I love Databricks, we can consider it as the Data Engineer's heaven. Everything makes sense, works smoothly and delta tables are truly revolutionary. Now that they are open sourcing even Delta table optimizations they will really become the n1 solution as a Data Engineering platform. The only downside is their marketing team. Sadly it's full of passive/aggressive people that won't let your company's engineers work because they'll bury you with hundreds of business questions just to resell a cool story internally. I've seen projects and deals going down for this. I really can't understand why they're trying so desperately to waste their customer's time.

Yep, they absolutely nail the product. One platform for ETL, analytics, data scrience etc in your preferred language. Nice Notebook interface etc. I’m not sure why anyone would try to roll their own analytics stack.

> Now that they are open sourcing even Delta table optimizations Has Databricks recently open sourced additional Delta table features that were previously only available with a paid license? I can't seem to find a relevant announcement.
