Sponsored by: SELECT | Taming Databricks Costs: SELECT's Proven Framework from 250+ Customers

Databricks is one of the most cost-effective data platforms on the market. After working with over 250 companies on cloud data platform cost optimization, we've refined a 6-part framework — visibility, attribution, controls, alerts, insights, and automations — that optimizes cost management on Databricks. In this talk, we'll walk through each area with practical examples — from calculating fully loaded workload costs and attributing spend to teams, to building guardrails and automations that continuously optimize your environment. We'll also share hard-won lessons on why decentralizing cost ownership is the only approach that scales and how to build a culture of cost awareness across your organization.
