Sanjeev Mohan, SanjMo & Tony Baer, dbInsight | Databricks Data + AI Summit 2024
summary
Databricks open sources Unity and pushes Lake House Federation while shipping LakeFlow no-code ETL that claims to connect Snowflake SAP and Salesforce and enable clean rooms without custom code. The keynote emphasizes tabular merging and that table formats matter for structured compute but not for many AI pipelines, Delta Sharing for access, Unity Catalog metrics and serverless runtime for simpler deployments. Mosaic AI tooling aims to provide a full model lifecycle for training and fine tuning, and analysts report roughly 45% customer overlap with Snowflake.
