Reviewer scorecard
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“Observable Framework for data apps is excellent. Static site generation from data notebooks is the right approach.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Observable Framework is the sleeper hit — build data dashboards as static sites with SQL and JavaScript.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
“The best platform for creating interactive data visualizations. D3 integration and the reactive model are powerful.”
