Snowflake vs Databricks: two different "souls" of the data world
Zachly · x · 2026-11-04
A viral thread contrasting the cultures behind the two data platforms: Snowflake is the soul of the Excel guy who learned SQL to keep his job, the analyst who finds Spark scary, and the CFO asking why a query cost $400. Databricks is the soul of the Java dev who learned ETL, the engineer proud of overengineered pipelines, and the one who thinks a $400 query is fine because it used 128 cores.
