See how organizations reduced their Databricks spend with BetterAI Cost Advisor™.
Challenge
A major healthcare system was spending $180K/month on Databricks with no visibility into which clinical workloads drove costs. Manual investigation took days.
Solution
Deployed BetterAI Cost Advisor™ with unified cost platform correlating Databricks system tables with AWS CUR. Implemented AI-powered idle detection and automated governance.
Architecture
Databricks → System Tables → Bronze/Silver/Gold → AI Agents → Executive Dashboards
Results
Challenge
12 Databricks workspaces across departments with no centralized cost reporting. Annual audits required manual data gathering taking 3+ weeks.
Solution
Implemented centralized FinOps with automated chargeback, budget alerts, and compliance reporting across all workspaces.
Architecture
12 Workspaces → Unified Cost Model → Chargeback → Governance Policies → Audit Reports
Results
Challenge
Risk analytics clusters running 24/7 with no auto-termination. ML training jobs consuming 40% of total Databricks spend without optimization.
Solution
Cost Advisor identified idle clusters, recommended scheduling optimization, and implemented spot instance policies for non-critical workloads.
Architecture
