Reviewer scorecard
“The complete data platform — Spark, Delta Lake, MLflow, and SQL Analytics. For enterprise data teams, it's the standard.”
“Turn SQL queries into instant APIs. The real-time ingestion and ClickHouse performance are impressive.”
“Expensive and complex. Smaller teams should use Snowflake for analytics or simpler tools. Databricks is enterprise-scale.”
“If you need real-time analytics APIs, Tinybird eliminates the infrastructure complexity. The SQL-to-API model is clean.”
“The lakehouse architecture is winning. Databricks + Delta Lake + Unity Catalog is the data platform blueprint.”
“Real-time analytics as an API is the right abstraction for modern data-driven applications.”
