Reviewer scorecard
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“Built-in vectorizer modules mean less glue code. GraphQL API is intuitive. Self-hosting option is a huge plus.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Open source and self-hostable gives you an exit strategy. The module system is genuinely innovative.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
“Multi-modal vectors and generative search point to where databases are heading. Weaviate is building for that future.”
