Microsoft Fabric vs Databricks vs (Snowflake):compared their individual strengths and differences
I joined the company about a year ago as a data engineer with no prior experience. As I gradually became accustomed to my work, I've summarized my real-life experiences using Fabric and Databricks (and occasionally Snowflake).
I'm somewhere between "business-oriented" and "engineer-oriented," and I feel I've come to understand both perspectives to a certain extent. That's why I've come to see how the "strengths" of Fabric and Databricks can also be their "weaknesses."
Fabric's intuitive GUI is, on the flip side, a "black box." Databricks's flexible codebase makes it "highly accessible." We haven't talked much about Snowflake yet, but perhaps this review, from a beginner's perspective, may be helpful.
In this article, we provide a straightforward comparison of the three tools, looking at their features, philosophies, and ease of use in practice. While we're still learning, we hope this article will be helpful to others struggling with similar issues!
