Questions about the Security of Shared Clusters and Serverless Compute in Databricks At SunnyData, we often get questions about the security of shared clusters, SQL Serverless Warehouses, and serverless compute options in Databricks. These concerns usually come from regulated industries , but we've also seen interest from non-regulated sectors. In this video, Josue A. Bogran interviews the team behind Lakeguard, a built-in security feature essential for protecting data when using these compute options. Key Takeaways: 🔒 Lakeguard ensures that security follows the user or group, whether you're using a shared cluster, single-user cluster, SQL serverless, or any serverless compute option. 🛡️ Adds an extra layer of protection against accidental leaks and malicious access. ⚙️ Maximizes efficiency by enabling multi-user compute while reducing administrative overhead. ✅ Fully integrated with Databricks and Unity Catalog, with no extra configuration required. At SunnyData, we’re here to help you unlock the full potential of your data while ensuring security and efficiency at every step. If you have any questions about implementing these solutions in your organization, feel free to reach out. 👉 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/dYbruC3z

Smart analysis from our Technical Advisor Josue A. Bogran – “Don’t believe everything you read.” Some recent statements from Snowflake raised a few eyebrows, especially when it comes to accuracy. Josue broke it down with a series of counterpoints, offering a nuanced view of why these claims don’t align with the realities we see on the ground. Josue’s take emphasizes that platforms like Databricks provide flexibility for AI, ML, and modern data workloads. When evaluating tools, it’s essential to dive into the details – because sometimes, what’s advertised doesn’t match up to real-world outcomes. At SunnyData, we’re all about data-backed insights. While it’s easy to get swept up in bold marketing claims, it’s critical to separate hype from facts. Let’s keep the conversation going. 💬

Some commentary on Snowflake's post... Databricks offers: 1) "Serverless" compute, offering fully abstracted tuning, management, no need to provision anything, etc. Supports SQL and Python. 2) The "SQL Serverless Warehouse" from Databricks has the same level of complexity as setting up a SQL Warehouse in Snowflake. 3) Databricks still gives customers the option to use compute with more knobs, if they want. Supports SQL, Python, Scala, and R. Flexibility of choice here is nice. 4) Snowflake has better cost management options at this time than Databricks, but to allude that Databricks adds a lot of management overhead, I don't think that is a fair claim. 5) I won't go into debate about benchmarks cited by either Snowflake or Databricks. They can have fun with that one. Snowflake can claim to be better than Databricks in other ways, but overall, this way is not a convincing one nor accurate one. I say this as someone who prefers Databricks, but does respect the value of Snowflake.
