No connection to the Akiflow team. I found the tool on my own and really like it. It’s snappy and does what it claims to do. I don’t really need their Calendly-lite implementation but everything else is very well put together.
@AtlasLion you are right real world performance matters. We test extensively with actual workloads, and the speed up holds there too. For example: lots of real world BI queries are repeated over smallish data sets of 10 to 50 GB. We test that size factor and pattern all the time.
Hey jiggawatts - TPC is the official way to audit benchmarks in the database industry. They’ve been around for a bit, but let me know if you want more info, I’m happy to share more about them.
Databricks broke the record by 2x) and is 10x more cost effective, in an audited benchmark. Snowflake should participate in the official, audited benchmark. Customers win when businesses are open and transparent…
Hey Will I’m sorry it didn’t work out. We’ve actually adjusted really well to COVID (in no small part thanks to our amazing employees).
We care a lot about our hiring experience. I’d be happy to chat about this over email. Feel free to drop me a message at Bilal dot Aslam at databricks dot com.
Here's a little known fact - the Jet storage engine behind Access is alive and well. It's used by Active Directory and many other products at Microsoft. At my previous company, we built a distributed key-value store on top of it (much like using sqlite in a distributed manner).
Wonderful service. I really like the idea. I think $10/month is way too low for the value you provide - think of the tax savings, and auditing capabilities you could provide. Good luck, I think you should charge more.
Hey there, I am a product manager at DocuSign. Sorry about your experience. I would love to dig into this - can you drop me a note at bilal dot aslam at docusign.com? Thank you!
