Most Databricks cost comparisons focus only on compute pricing, missing two critical factors that can save thousands monthly. Learn how serverless waives private link transfer fees (up to $10/TB) and provides persistent remote caching that survives warehouse restarts - hidden benefits that often justify the serverless premium entirely.

In this three-part video series, Databricks MVP Josue Bogran and Greg Kroleski from Databricks’ “Money Team” discuss cost allocation, tagging best practices, cloud innovations, and performance enhancements. The series explores Databricks' efforts to optimize cost reporting, leverage AI for insights, and empower businesses to make smarter, growth-driven decisions in 2024 and beyond.
