How Databricks is Shaping Data Management in 2024 Jules HAMELIN-BOYER, Senior Data Engineer, shares key takeaways from the recent Data + AI Summit 2024 in his latest blog. The event brought some important updates from Databricks, set to impact how businesses handle data and AI. - Partnership with NVIDIA: Databricks' integration with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing is aimed at boosting the performance and cost-efficiency of data processing. - Open-Sourcing Unity Catalog: This move standardizes data governance across different platforms, offering organizations more control and transparency over their data assets. Jules discusses how Unity Catalog’s advanced data lineage capabilities make it easier to track data movements and ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR. - Delta Live Tables (DLT): Automating ETL processes is now simpler with DLT’s NoCode approach, allowing users to manage data pipelines with basic SQL commands. This makes the tool more accessible to teams with varying technical skills, improving collaboration and speeding up data processing.

Exciting news! Cortex Analyst now supports joins for Star and Snowflake schemas, empowering business users to generate insights from complex, multi-table data with ease. With a remarkable 92% SQL accuracy, Cortex Analyst surpasses other solutions, ensuring reliable answers for intricate queries. 🌟 Supporting joins in a text-to-SQL system is far from as simple as just joining two tables. It requires thoughtful handling of join paths, join types, disambiguation, aggregation, and distinctness, along with careful parsing to generate SQL that accurately reflects the user’s question.

It's Day 2 in our Snowflake mini-series. Since being founded in 2012, it's fair to say Snowflake has been pretty transformative to data teams' lives worldwide. Here are some of the ways how Snowflake revolutionised Big Data: 1️⃣ Separation of Storage and Compute: - Before Snowflake, businesses had to deal with monolithic architectures where storage and compute were tightly coupled, leading to inefficiencies and high costs - Snowflake’s architecture decoupled storage from compute resources, allowing businesses to scale independently. This means you only pay for what you use, optimising costs and performance. 2️⃣ Data Sharing and Collaboration: - Sharing data across organisations used to mean cumbersome data transfers and security risks. - Snowflake’s secure data-sharing features allows for instant, controlled access to live data without the need to move or copy it. - This has enabled real-time collaboration across organisations and created a dynamic ecosystem where partners, vendors, and customers can seamlessly interact. 3️⃣ True Multi-Cloud Capability: - With Snowflake, you’re not tied to a single cloud provider. Businesses can deploy across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, leveraging the strengths of each. - This multi-cloud strategy ensures high availability, disaster recovery, and vendor independence, offering unparalleled flexibility and global reach. - Previously, organisations were often locked into a single cloud provider, limiting flexibility and increasing risk.
