Databricks on AWS vs AWS EMR
Developers should learn and use Databricks on AWS when working on big data projects that require scalable data processing, real-time analytics, or machine learning workflows in a cloud-native environment meets developers should use aws emr when building scalable big data pipelines that require processing petabytes of data, as it reduces operational overhead by automating cluster management and scaling. Here's our take.
Databricks on AWS

Databricks on AWS
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Databricks on AWS when working on big data projects that require scalable data processing, real-time analytics, or machine learning workflows in a cloud-native environment
Pros
- +It is ideal for use cases such as building ETL pipelines, performing exploratory data analysis, training ML models at scale, and enabling collaborative data science teams, especially in organizations already invested in the AWS ecosystem for its reliability and cost-effectiveness
- +Related to: apache-spark, delta-lake
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
AWS EMR
Developers should use AWS EMR when building scalable big data pipelines that require processing petabytes of data, as it reduces operational overhead by automating cluster management and scaling
Pros
- +It's ideal for use cases like log analysis, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows, and machine learning model training, especially when integrated with AWS data lakes like S3
- +Related to: apache-spark, apache-hadoop
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Databricks on AWS if: You want it is ideal for use cases such as building etl pipelines, performing exploratory data analysis, training ml models at scale, and enabling collaborative data science teams, especially in organizations already invested in the aws ecosystem for its reliability and cost-effectiveness and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use AWS EMR if: You prioritize it's ideal for use cases like log analysis, etl (extract, transform, load) workflows, and machine learning model training, especially when integrated with aws data lakes like s3 over what Databricks on AWS offers.
