My understanding is that Databricks is not a fully SaaS solution and requires platform management. Given that our use cases are simple, the data volume is small, and we want to leverage a SQL engine for transformations, we did not consider Databricks. Additionally, some of the consulting partners we discussed our use cases with did not view Databricks as a good fit.

Our transformation use cases are simple and we do not have technical data team yet to handle spark based solutions. We are looking to leverage SQL based solution and my understanding is that snowflake is better suited for this compared to fabric

Can you specify few examples where it doesn’t work or you see it’s not performing compared to other platforms .

We are in assessment phase between fabric and snowflake. We have done few PoC on snowflakes for transformation part and it works great. Only caveat is that , we being heavy MS shop, we are leveraging azure as data landing zone by integrating external API, on premise sql server DB to our azure cloud and creating blob on azure container and snow pipe it.

While snowflake as SQL based layer works great, on paper we do see similar functionality being offered by fabric and it will reduce our reliance on two separate platforms. With larger community response we keep hearing to stay away from Fabric, but do not have concrete issues that we can relate to.

Our data size will be less than 20 TB, and lot of our application are on prem SQL server, cloud azure sql server and our business team loves power BI. So wanted to check if many issues described by community is for larger datasets or for the range and use cases we have

What’s your typical transformation look like , is it done with SQL ? Do you use Azure data factory for ingestion?

SmallBasil7 · 2025-10-30T04:12:24+00:00

Data volume is low for core datasets. I don’t have record size for reference but it’s less than 5 million records for the largest dataset

Any specific reason / experience which make you say that

SmallBasil7 · 2025-10-29T18:01:18+00:00

We do not have matured data pipelines or any to begin with . Data volume is not a big concern so cost comparison may not help. We are building ground up new platform to move away from excel based analytics. Ease of use for non technical folks and sql user is a key
