    Centralised notebooks are out directly into production. This can lead to poorly engineered code. It is very good for fast queries and our data team are always able to provide what we ask for. It is a big cost to our business so it is important it runs efficiently and returns on our investment.

    Keras is quite perfect, if the aim is to build the standard Deep Learning model, and materialize it to serve the real business use case, while it is not suitable if the purpose is for research and a lot of non-standard try out and customization are required, in that case either directly goes to low level TensorFlow API or Pytorch

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Data Processing and Transformations based on Spark
    • Delta Lakehouse when clubbed with an external cloud storage
    • Governance using Unity Catalog to unify IAM
    • Delta Live Tables is a product, which although relatively newer, has a great potential with the visuals of a pipeline.

    • One of the reason to use Keras is that it is easy to use. Implementing neural network is very easy in this, with just one line of code we can add one layer in the neural network with all it's configurations.
    • It provides lot of inbuilt thing like cov2d, conv2D, maxPooling layers. So it makes fast development as you don't need to write everything on your own. It comes with lot of data processing libraries in it like one hot encoder which also makes your development easy and fast.
    • It also provides functionality to develop models on mobile device.

    • As it is a kind of wrapper library it won't allow you to modify everything of its backend
    • Unlike other deep learning libraries, it lacks a pre-defined trained model to use
    • Errors thrown are not always very useful for debugging. Sometimes it is difficult to know the root cause just with the logs

    The developers are able to switch between Python and SQL in the Notebook which allows the collaboration of SQL analyst and Data scientist. The integration of Mosaic AI allows users to write complex codes in natural languages. Unity catalog has centralized the security and governance features and simplified the process of maintaining it

    I am giving this rating depending on my experience so far with Keras, I didn't face any issue far. I would like to recommend it to the new developers.

    Keras have really good support along with the strong community over the internet. So in case you stuck, It won't so hard to get out from it.

    I have found Azure Databricks to be much better than Snowflake for handling bigger, diverse data types. Snowflake is much simpler and better for smaller warehousing. The real time processing is much better in Azure Databricks and we have much more language options. Snowflake is more expensive but simpler to use. Both are great for different needs.

    Keras is good to develop deep learning models. As compared to TensorFlow, it's easy to write code in Keras. You have more power with TensorFlow but also have a high error rate because you have to configure everything by your own. And as compared to MATLAB, I will always prefer Keras as it is easy and powerful as well.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • The support team is amazing, they help you at every stage of the projects, from sales to delivery.
    • On a framework level, it has had an amazing impact and has reduced the clients overall data platform costs by a staggering 65%
    • There has been a 40% Manual work requirement on average for the clients when they move to Azure Databricks Data Platform

    • Easy and faster way to develop neural network.
    • It would be much better if it is available in Java.
    • It doesn't allow you to modify the internal things.
