Benchmarks are like single match scorelines: interesting, but rarely comparable. We built a public ELO score leaderboard for analytics engines that treats every public benchmark (TPC-DS, TPC-H, SSB, vendor blogs, community posts - even the messy ones) as a “match.”

Why ELO? Because comparing databases is more like ranking football clubs over a season than timing a single sprint. Creating a relative robust and relative score is what counts.

Together with www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-cul... I have created a template for making LLMs (from different vendors and even self hosted ones) easily accessible to researchers - including advanced document RAG with docling.

Nice. What about tracking the learning process and comparing against the peer group/ class?

Did you ever want to find an alternative to cloud data PaaS/SaaS vendor lock-in? In my blog post, I show how a 0-cost switch between local, Databricks and AWS EMR environments can be achieved to save cost by using dagster. Additionally, software engineering best practices around testability, and producing DRY code are enhanced.

Check out my deep dive and let’s discuss the potential impacts on our projects!

Big thanks also to my co-author Hernan.

Interesting why? What were the pain points?

If you use bigquery in big lake mode - i.e. with parquet or iceberg or delta files on GCS (or other object store) you can easily pull in the data into duckdb as well
