CACHED TAKES: 80% OF COMPANIES DO NOT NEED SNOWFLAKE OR DATABRICKS

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

80% of companies don’t need Snowflake and Databricks when there are open source, free alternatives. The services that Snowflake and Databricks provide are mainly for large companies that can actually take advantage of all the tools provided. Instead, smaller companies should identify inefficiencies and replace paid software with open source software that mimics the core functionalities until there is a need to upgrade.
