What are the differences between Snowflake and Databricks?

Snowflake

Snowflake architecture

Snowflake is a mix of classic shared-disk databasearchitectures and non-shared databasearchitectures . In the storage layer, data resides in a centralized cloud storage accessible to all compute nodes, like a shared disk. However, the compute layer uses independent virtual warehouses that process queries in parallel.
