Good morning from London, #DataBS / #DataSky -- a question for the hive mind please 🙏 When would it be appropriate for an organisation to pay for Snowflake, BigQuery as well as Databricks?

Databricks is quite powerful and can definitely fit in with Snowflake and BigQuery. It all really depends on the data being worked with.

What's a use case for accommodating Databricks into our stack when we've got both Snowflake as core warehouse, and BigQuery for various Google lock-in bits..? (p.s.: I'm trying to keep an open mind, but cards on table, I'm a bit biased against my team having to support even more data tooling..)

Totally fair and I'm with you there! Supporting a bunch of bespoke tooling can be painful and rightfully avoided. Snowflake and Databricks do have significant overlap (more than I realized since I last looked) so it's now a matter of pricing and cost to convert that team over or not.
