What is Databricks?

Looking for alternatives to Databricks?

Founded in 2013 by Ali Ghodsi, Databricks pioneered the development of datalakehouses, an architecture for processing structured and unstructured data
With a strong connection to open source (its founders having been among the most pioneering of Apache Spark technologies), Databricks was the first to enable distributed computation with this technology.
Since then, Databricks has continued to develop open source architecture, notably via the Delta projects, and is positioning itself as one of the leaders in the exploitation of data, particularly for AI applications.

If you're considering abandoning Databricks, or hesitating between the two platforms, here's why you should consider Cleyrop.

Databricks pricing

Pricing for Databricks?

Databricks has a pay-per-use billing system, meaning that users only pay when they use the Databricks platform. Databricks uses an internal consumption metric, the Databricks Units, or DBU. The number of DBUs required to perform operations varies according to location (America, Europe, Asia, ...), cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and machine selected. The more powerful a machine, the greater the number of DBUs required to use it. If the user uses several machines, this multiplies the number of DBUs needed to perform operations.
Each operation (SQL queries, DLT advance compute, ...) has a price per DBU.

Example: For a compute job at 0.15€/DBU, active 8 hours per day, on 5 instances (or virtual machine) costing 1DBU per instance, the cost of Databricks will be :

5 instances x 1 DBU/hour (machine price) x 8×30 (compute 8 hours per day, every day) x 0.15 DBU (job price) = 180€/month
