Databricks is reportedly in discussions to acquire the startup Neon for around $1 billion, indicating a significant interest in Neon's serverless Postgres offerings. There is a mixture of enthusiasm and skepticism among commenters regarding the acquisition, particularly about the business model of Neon and whether they can sustain profitability. Some comments suggest that while Neon has a strong product, the bigger question remains about Databricks' strategy in the serverless market and the overall value for customers considering the financial implications. Additionally, there are questions about Databricks' status as an AI company, suggesting some confusion over their product alignment with AI solutions.
