Databricks broke the record by 2x) and is 10x more cost effective, in an audited benchmark. Snowflake should participate in the official, audited benchmark. Customers win when businesses are open and transparent…

I mean, not really? I’m just a product manager at Databricks who cares about our customers and candidates. Take that for what you will, I guess.

Here's a little known fact - the Jet storage engine behind Access is alive and well. It's used by Active Directory and many other products at Microsoft. At my previous company, we built a distributed key-value store on top of it (

Wonderful service. I really like the idea. I think $10/month is way too low for the value you provide - think of the tax savings, and auditing capabilities you could provide. Good luck, I think you should charge more.

Karthik, I'm no Spark expert but almost all advice I read is to avoid UDFs if at all possible. Examples below: - https://medium.com/teads-engineering/spark-performance-tunin... - https://www.inovex.de&#

Unconstructive comment. Please don't demean their hard work with sarcasm. Small companies are hard enough to build as is.
