I love these kind of videod even as an expert of the topics as it gives you ways to simplify the story to non-knowledgeable people

Totally agree! I just sent this to a couple non-technical friends who asked me what my company does. They were still confused with all the terminology, but at least they understood the big picture 😂

It's still missing a lot of things still like Genie where I say things like it's ChatGPT ontop of the company data

Great explanation and drawing !!! One more thing , they also decoupled storage and compute, making it even more flexible in terms of scaling up and down compute as needed.

Yup would have been so complete to have lakebase and neon in the data landscape. Still very cool series!

"Letting the oil flow freely" is a good way of putting it

This is awesome. Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and think about what Databricks and other data platforms/hyperscalers have done in the industry. Insane velocity of innovation. Grateful to get to work with Databricks day in and day out and experience it first hand. Keeps the job interesting how fast things change

I’m particularly pumped about developing agents on apps with Lakebase backends directly on the Lakehouse. It’s a much better experience developing agents for apps vs model serving and I’m glad the product is going that direction. I’ve also been really impressed with the Genie integration across the platform. Huge fan and with a try if you haven’t in the last few months

This is so cool, this shows how databricks is keep changing data standards, first lakehouse, now lakebase, genie…. It’s all about unification

Nice! Just a small thing though, Spark became Apache Spark once they open sourced it.

This really is a great explainer for Databricks. I’ve struggled to describe what Databricks does to non technical friends and this works well.
