**Databricks is a $38 billion dollar mistake. **

Ranty polemic from Benn Stancil. Data bricks is just a big database that is fast and scalable. It sells itself as a hub for solving all your business problems. But really, it's just a big database. That's not a bad thing, but it should stop pretending to be anything else.

When storing and accessing big data becomes cheap and easy, it becomes boring and opens up a huge market and huge possibilities.
