While consolidating onto a single platform is often ideal, the reality for many large enterprises is more complex. Team autonomy, legacy investments, and strategic diversification often lead to multi-cloud and multi-product environments.

This post is the first in a three part series focusing on interoperability amongst Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric. The following list will be updated with urls as the posts are published:
