Claude as the front end, Databricks as the engine: 'most BI tools are fully dead'
teodorio · x · 2026-10-21
The author describes his latest project stack: Claude as the interface for every downstream user, with Databricks as the compute engine, storage, and semantic layer — literally nothing else needed.
- Opus sets everything up through the Databricks CLI, orchestrating any job and any source
- Business users just talk in the enterprise Claude instance and use the new Genie MCP
- The setup was surprisingly easy, fast, and nice to use
His conclusion: most BI and analytics tools are fully dead.
