What stands out

  • The lead is wide: Databricks (7.7%) is well clear of SageMaker at #10 (1.4%).
  • SageMaker reaches #10 on a sample of 298 openings, a smaller market than most of the top ten, so its rank can move more from month to month.
  • Databricks is the largest market in the top ten, with 1,589 openings behind its figure.
  • Tools with fewer than 30 openings are not ranked, and small differences between neighbouring ranks are not meaningful.
