Head-to-head comparisons of the data platforms, clouds, and tools we work with every day. These pages are written to help engineering teams evaluate their options with real cost and capability data rather than vendor marketing.
- Databricks on AWS vs Azure: compute pricing levers, platform operation, and the surrounding ecosystem for running Databricks on the two clouds.
- Delta Lake on AWS S3 vs Azure OneLake: object-store semantics, interoperability evidence, and metadata costs for Delta Lake on the two storage platforms.
- Databricks on GCP vs AWS: where GCP's BigQuery and AI pairing pays off, the GCS storage-layer friction, and the cost, region, and ecosystem trade-offs between the two clouds.
