Databricks is the Jira of dealing with data. No one wants to use it, it sucks, there are too many features to try to appease all possible users but none of them particularly good, and there are substantially better options now than there were not long ago. I would never, ever use it by choice.
- winwang 1y agoWhat options do you use? I don't work for Databricks but I am building my own data infra startup, so I'd like to hear what "good" looks like!
- MOARDONGZPLZ 1y agoEh you don’t even need to go through all the trouble building a startup. imo Neon was interesting and filled a niche while open source solutions were really gaining maturity and adoption. Now they have, lots and lots of recommendations in this comment section, so my sense is that building a startup would be like reinventing the Neon wheel, just too late. Perhaps, depending on licensing, running OSS as a software is viable.
- winwang 1y agoOh, my startup isn't about Postgres, but rather a GPU-accelerated Spark: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43964505 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43964505 What are some bad UX choices you generally dislike in data products?
