dbt-databricks VS nutter

Our current data infra looks a little something like this: 1. Airbyte deployed on EKS for supported data connectors. I’m using the alpha Databricks connector to load directly into Unity Catalog. 1a. S3 bucket for raw landing zone storage if we cannot directly load into Databricks Managed Tables. 2. Orchestration, storage, and transformations are in Databricks. Calling out to the Airbyte api in the EKS cluster to keep all orchestrations inside Databricks. 2a. databricks-dbt for transformations & cleaning.

Global organizations need a way to process the massive amounts of data they produce for real-time decision making. They often utilize event-streaming tools like Redpanda with stream-processing tools like Databricks for this purpose.

Databricks, a data lakehouse company founded by the creators of Apache Spark, published a blog post claiming that it set a new data warehousing performance record in 100 TB TPC-DS benchmark. It was also mentioned that Databricks was 2.7x faster and 12x better in terms of price performance compared to Snowflake.

From my experience OO gives you much more flexibility in designing your pipeline but you're risking to make the project way more complicated. The worst example I have seen is the Nutter library (https://github.com/microsoft/nutter), which uses endless classes that are all nested in each other. I once had a bug when using it, and it was a huge pain in the ass to understand what's going on when the code is executed. It is a very good example of what can go wrong when you're overusing OO. However, in one project, I carefully created few classes, just out of curiosity, and I was very impressed how it helped me to organize/structure my code. A functions hase a clear dedicated use, but a good class is like a Swiss army knife with an solid set of functionalities. If you know how to use it in a smart way, you are likely to increase the quality of your code, but the contrary is also very likely, especially when the team members are not ready for it.
