Databricks Cost Optimization and Performance

Factored built a Databricks framework that cut costs by 90%, reduced SLA time from 2 hours to 10 minutes, and improved scalability.

Key Takeaways:

Cloud Migration and Cost Optimization.

Data warehousing, storage, and analytics are expensive, particularly in cloud-based platforms like Databricks, which operates on a pay-as-you-go model. While Databricks Unity Catalog offers time-saving features such as governance, compliance, granular access control, and metadata management, having a poor setup, lack of standardization, and inefficient Spark data pipelines can significantly drive up costs and hinder scalability. Organizations often struggle with managing high-cost workflows and optimizing data processing efficiency.

Data Migration to Datalakes.

  • Optimizing Spark data pipelines with techniques like Predicate Pushdown, Partition Pruning, and Z-Ordering to improve efficiency.
  • Categorizing workflows to allocate dedicated resources for critical tasks while shifting non-critical ones to cost-effective spot instances.
  • Leveraging Spot Instances to cut costs by bidding on lower-cost, short-term computing power.

Reducing Costs by 90%.

  • Completed workflow SLA time reduced from 2 hours to 10 minutes.
  • Completed the project in 8 months.
