If people have never heard of Databricks, now is the time because a 100 billion company just started a war against them. Great marketing win Databricks.

Databricks is $28B valuation and 2800 employees, Snowflake is $109 valuation and 2500 employees.

They are both billion dolar companies, we're hardly talking David and Goliath here.

for DB that's old number - recent valuation is $38B

To be fair, I've been equating Databricks for a month or so. Databricks is coming after Snowflake. Snowflake doesn't care. Snowflake has a pretty solid moat with:

EASY SQL, data sharing (they have a marketplace), simple scaling

You'll need to revisit this again. In the last two years Databricks has built a lead and a bigger moat. They're essentially nice chaps with a huge community backing them. And we all love their open source tools which essentially powers not only their big data platforms, but everyone else's too (AWS, GCP).

Databricks introduced an open source data sharing feature earlier this year. I don't know Databricks well enough to comment on the other two.
