    Snowflake and Databricks are different, sometimes complementary technologies. You can store data in Snowflake & query it with Databricks for example: https://github.com/snowflakedb/spark-snowflake

    Snowflake predicate pushdown filtering seems quite promising: https://www.snowflake.com/blog/snowflake-spark-part-2-pushin...

    Think both these companies can win.

    > * AWS has a managed Spark offering called EMR

    There is also my rinky-dink open source project, Flintrock [0], that will launch open source Spark clusters on AWS for you.

    It's probably not the right tool for production use (and you would be right to wonder why Flintrock exists when we have EMR [1]), but I know of several companies that have used Flintrock at one point or other in production at large scale (like, 400+ node clusters).
