That's what the Databricks salespeople say. My consistent experience has been that the experts "learned" it over the weekend by reading over the brochure and now I not only need to get a deep understanding of it myself I also have to waste my time explaining it to them because they have to actually do it in the closed environment the Databricks is overcharging us for.
- bdcravens 3y agoSounds like you're now a Databricks expert. Time to go get that $300/hour consulting fee.
- catchnear4321 3y agowas referring to the open source alternatives. have yet to meet a vendor-recommended solutions provider that felt like more than a cash grab for anyone too dazzled by the initial onboarding. the math of outsourcing implementation to consulting firms always seems off - send the problem elsewhere, usually for a premium, and hope the internal folks can digest whatever the actual consulting dev writes after the sales dev talks big game on hypotheticals. hesitant to say my sample size is too small. feels like a trap.
