With billions of dollars at stake, a growing number of key players, and a heated rivalry between industry leaders Databricks and Snowflake, the cloud data warehouse space is one of the buzziest areas in technology today.
Fivetran recently unveiled the results of a new data warehouse benchmark report that revealed just how close the competition is among five of the most popular data warehouses. The report is the passion project of Fivetran CEO and data management expert George Fraser, who has a front row seat in the cloud data warehouse race.
The report explains the cost vs. performance tradeoffs of each one of the warehouses, the ins and outs of the modern data stack, and provides a perspective on how it’s all going to shake out. Also addressed:
- The myth that cloud data warehouse vendors don’t want to improve performance as it eats into revenue
- How Databricks became a fierce competitor based on dramatic performance improvements – especially pertaining to SQL
- The ongoing battle between Snowflake and Databricks, and how they both claim to be the fastest and most cost effective data warehouse in the industry
- How DuckDB will shake up the data warehouse space
- What’s next for the modern data stack in 2023 and the crucial role it plays in helping companies navigate macroeconomic headwinds
