Access the resource

Description

In the ever-evolving data stack landscape, we went head-to-head with two of the biggest contenders in the space: Databricks vs. Snowflake. Watch the recording as we took a look into whether Databricks has what it takes to challenge the reigning champion, Snowflake.

But don’t count Snowflake out just yet—it’s got some tricks up its sleeve and won’t give up its throne easily.

Watch the recording of this engaging debate on the pros and cons of Databricks and Snowflake based on real-world use cases from people who work with these solutions every day.

We’re happy to announce guest speakers Jan Láznička from Billigence in Snowflake’s corner and Lukáš Langr from DataSentics fighting for Databricks. Then, truly go head-to-head in a panel discussion led by GoodData’s Jan Soubusta.

P.S. Don’t forget your boxing gloves. 🥊
