A little reminder to everyone out there in the data ecosystem:
It is simply Databricks.
Not DataBricks.
And not Data Bricks.
And especially not DBX.
Reading this feels like a root canal treatment to me.
I see Databricks spelled wrong a lot and this comes typically from three kinds of personas:
- The Databricks Rookie: Has not been in touch with Databricks a lot and hasn’t absorbed the correct spelling yet. Those will learn and adapt.
- Headhunters and Staffing Agencies: Typically with no tech background and never using the tools. Getting the spelling right will help matching keywords and demonstrate a professional demeanor.
- Data Professionals: They should know. Period.
This applies for other terms as well. So take the few seconds and check your spelling.
