Databricks Data Intelligence Platform vs. NVIDIA RAPIDS

If you need a managed big data megastore, which has native integration with highly optimized Apache Spark Engine and native integration with MLflow, go for Databricks Lakehouse Platform. The Databricks Lakehouse Platform is a breeze to use and analytics capabilities are supported out of the box. You will find it a bit difficult to manage code in notebooks but you will get used to it soon.

NVIDIA RAPIDS is great for integrated and planned machine learning and deep learning journey. It is excellent if you have big data with defined processes to be improved and monitored. It is less effective if the project is continuously changed and the data are to be prepared and cleaned a lot and [in] many different ways.

• There is databricks community, which is a free version. It is available for beginners to have an easy start with a big data platform. It does not have every feature of the full version but is still adequate for extremely new coders.
• There are many resourceful training elements that are available to developers, data scientists, data engineers and other IT professionals to learn Apache Spark.

• Visualization
• Deep learning pipeline
• State of the art libraries

• Connect my local code in Visual code to my Databricks Lakehouse Platform cluster so I can run the code on the cluster. The old databricks-connect approach has many bugs and is hard to set up. The new Databricks Lakehouse Platform extension on Visual Code, doesn't allow the developers to debug their code line by line (only we can run the code).
• Maybe have a specific Databricks Lakehouse Platform IDE that can be used by Databricks Lakehouse Platform users to develop locally.
• Visualization in MLFLOW experiment can be enhanced

• Its not flexible and cost effective for all sizes of organizations.
• I appreciate it has hassle-free integration.

Because it is an amazing platform for designing experiments and delivering a deep dive analysis that requires execution of highly complex queries, as well as it allows to share the information and insights across the company with their shared workspaces, while keeping it secured.

in terms of graph generation and interaction it could improve their UI and UX

One of the best customer and technology support that I have ever experienced in my career. You pay for what you get and you get the Rolls Royce. It reminds me of the customer support of SAS in the 2000s when the tools were reaching some limits and their engineer wanted to know more about what we were doing, long before "data science" was even a name. Databricks truly embraces the partnership with their customer and help them on any given challenge.

Databricks is a true all-in-one platform, and at the time of implementation, it had more features available to us, making it a clear choice over Snowflake. Moving our workloads from local computing to the servers in Databricks gave our start-up staff a great quality of life boost.

RAPIDS GPU accelerates machine learning to make the entire data science and analytics workflows run faster, also helps build databases and machine learning applications effectively. It also allows faster model deployment and iterations to increase machine learning model accuracy. The great value of money.

• ROI for us has been tremendous. Time to market by processing raw data in our big data infrastructure has been pretty fast.
• Non engineers can easily use Databricks, hence helping business customers.
• Thousands of different data combinations can easily be joined and used by our data teams.

Incentivized

• Hassle free integration.
• Top model accuracy.
• Reduce training time.
