We can make this file beautiful and searchable if this error is corrected: It looks like row 4 should actually have 5 columns, instead of 4 in line 3.
SNo,Category,Issue Description,Implications,Business Explanation
1,Environment & Dependency Control,"Limited control over Python versions, no native support for venv or conda, and minimal environment isolation.","Difficult to pin down exact library versions, which is critical for reproducibility, model portability, and CI/CD.","Lack of precise control may lead to inconsistent results between development and production, increasing project risk and time to market."
2,Production Deployment for Edge/Embedded,"Databricks is not optimized for producing lightweight, portable, or edge-deployable code and models.",Inference pipelines and final models deployed on edge or embedded systems need tight memory and runtime control—something Databricks doesn’t support well.,"The platform isn't suitable for projects targeting IoT or low-power environments, which could delay adoption in real-world applications."
3,Real-Time Resource Monitoring,Lack of real-time CPU/memory/IO/GPU usage metrics at the notebook or job level.,Hard
SNo Advantages Why it matters
1 Unified Data & AI Platform Combines analytics, engineering, and ML into one consistent interface across multiple clouds.
2 Optimized Spark Runtime High-performance distributed compute engine with better throughput than open-source Spark.
3 Delta Lake & Time Travel Brings reliability, ACID compliance, and versioning to the data lake.
4 MLflow Native Integration Seamlessly track experiments, versions, and manage model registry.
5 Collaboration Features Built-in sharing and permissions help team collaboration.
6 Security & Governance RBAC, Unity Catalog, and audit logging enable enterprise-grade governance.
7 Multi-cloud & Interoperability Works across GCP, AWS, Azure with a consistent experience.
8 AutoML (Basic) Allows non-experts to get started quickly with modeling.
9 Scalability for Large Workloads Scales easily for petabyte-scale processing and large model training.

Databricks Suitability Matrix: Role and Domain-wise practicality
We can make this file beautiful and searchable if this error is corrected: Unclosed quoted field in line 4.
SNo,Role,Domain,Best Tools/Platform,Why Use Databricks,Limitations in using Databricks,Recommendation on Databricks
1,Data Scientist,Structured Tabular Data,"Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, VMs, Local Env","Seamless data lake integration, Delta Lake, good AutoML pipelines, strong at aggregations and joins","Less useful for low-latency modeling, slow to deploy fine-tuned models to prod",Strongly recommended as a primary tool for structured data prototyping and experimentation.
2,Data Scientist,"Time Series (sensor, finance)","Azure Data Explorer, Prophet, Darts, GluonTS, GCP AI Forecasting, Kafka Streams",Can handle large-scale time series processing and feature engineering,Lacks ready-to-use TS-specific models and operational forecasting toolkits,"Partially recommended as a side tool for feature generation, not final modeling."
3,Data Scientist,Signal Processing,"MATLAB, SciPy, Local Env, Librosa, Wavelet Toolbox",Useful for distributing raw signal data processing at scale,"Not natively signal-processing frie
