I listened to the first five minutes of your presentation, and I went: what an excellent educator!

[konvucious]

Very good pace and straight to the point. It’s very helpful to understand the benefits of Databricks vs base spark vs base ml development

Great intro. thanks. I've worked in Power BI for a while and now I'm exploring Azure Data Factory and I need to understand databricks. I checked-out your other video on SQL with databricks. I'm so happy I can leverage my SQL skills vs. having to use Python.

[PrebenOlsen]

Great video, comfortable to listen to!

I'm new to datawarehousing and I'm not getting concrete answers to my questions:
- What exactly does Azure Data Factory do?
- Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake are alternatives for JUST storing data, correct?
- Is Azure Databricks an optional element in an Azure datawarehousing architecture, or is it mandatory?

[raminrad]

Good video for non-technical people. It's more correct to compare Spark with Apache MapReduce, and not Hadoop. And also DBFS is not an "Operating System" or a "wrapper" to Databricks. It's a file system.
