If you want a warehouse that works well for both SQL analysts and notebook users/data scientists, the main thing to look for is a platform that offers:

  • strong SQL performance
  • easy notebook integration
  • shared governance/security
  • elastic compute
  • good support for multiple engines or access patterns

Good options

  • Databricks SQL + notebooks
    Best if your team wants tight integration between SQL analytics and Python/Scala notebooks in one lakehouse platform.

  • Snowflake
    Excellent for SQL analysts, and it supports notebooks/workspaces through Snowpark, Snowsight, and integrations. Strong governance and simplicity.

  • BigQuery
    Great for SQL-first teams, with notebooks through Vertex AI / Colab integration and strong serverless scaling.

  • Redshift + notebooks
    Works if you’re already in AWS, though notebook support is usually more fragmented than the options above.

Quick recommendation

  • If notebooks are a first-class requirement: Databricks is often the best fit.
  • If SQL analysts are the main users and notebooks are secondary: Snowflake is usually the easiest win.

A simple rule of thumb

Choose a platform that has:

  1. SQL warehouse for BI/analytics
  2. Notebook environment for Python/R/ML
  3. Single security/governance model
  4. Shared data objects so both groups work from the same tables/views

If you want, I can give you a short comparison table of Databricks vs Snowflake vs BigQuery for your exact use case.
