When it took more than 300 seconds to start a cluster while trying to give a PySpark demo on Databricks to a customer here in NL.

That must have been a nerve-wracking moment! @saifikhan  Thank you for sharing the feedback. Hope the demo went well despite the delay!

When we migrated an a Ab Initio pipeline processing data with over 800 nested XML fields to Databricks. Engineers had been trying for 2 years to migrate that to Azure Data Factory but in vain owing to the sheer complexity of the data. Databricks made it up and running in 3 months with faster and cheaper performance.

Impressive! @Puspak  Migrating such a complex pipeline in just 3 months is a huge achievement. Thanks for sharing your Aha! moment!
