Really interesting read on the evolution of Data Warehouses, Data Lakes and Lake Houses and how Databricks and Snowflake are battling for the top spot. https://lnkd.in/egg4P5VG This is one of the more complete analysis I've seen on the evolution of the analytics space and it's big gorilla's. In the end, it gets into the AI discussion of big LLM's vs. small models and how SLM's will have a place in the analytics world, which I completely agree with.

Databricks Redefines the Competition Landscape The ongoing rivalry between Databricks and Snowflake has always been a hot topic in the data world. However, recent statements from Databricks suggest a shift in perspective—they no longer view Snowflake as a direct competitor. As the demand for AI-driven insights and unified data platforms grows, the focus seems to be on carving out unique market positions rather than engaging in head-to-head battles. It’s fascinating to see how tech giants evolve their strategies to adapt to the dynamic landscape of data engineering, analytics, and AI. source: https://lnkd.in/gUPZs5Sk #Databricks #Snowflake #AI #DataAnalytics #TechStrategy
