Reviewer scorecard
“The complete data platform — Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and SQL Analytics. For enterprise data teams, it's the standard.”
“SQL + markdown = BI dashboards. Version control your analytics like code. Genius simplicity.”
“Expensive and complex. Smaller teams should use Snowflake for analytics or simpler tools. Databricks is enterprise-scale.”
“For teams that think in SQL, Evidence produces better dashboards than clicking through Metabase or Tableau.”
“The lakehouse architecture is winning. Databricks + Delta Lake + Unity Catalog is the data platform blueprint.”
“Code-based BI aligns analytics with engineering best practices — version control, review, testing.”
