Databricks projects a near doubling of its data warehousing business this year, with expectations of $1 billion revenue run rate for Databricks SQL by January 2026.
The company attributes its growth to lower costs compared to competitors, particularly seeing success with Databricks SQL, a product competing with Snowflake.
Snowflake, focusing on cloud data warehousing, is projected to reach $4.3 billion in product revenue by January 2026.
Databricks was valued at $62 billion following a recent funding round, planning to invest in new AI products, acquisitions, and expanding internationally.
Challenges are emerging as Databricks and Snowflake target large enterprises with legacy systems, requiring careful considerations around IT modernization and strategic planning.
