Lakehouse Cost AI Optimization for Databricks
Run one SQL query on your Databricks system tables, load the result, and see where every dollar goes: jobs on expensive clusters, clusters left on all night, warehouses that never stop, untagged spend, with the saving for each fix.
Diagnose and fix by AI: a slow job, data skew, spill, a new lakehouse to plan. AI finds the cause and writes the exact fix for your environment; your team applies it in minutes.
Your export is checked inside your browser. It is never uploaded. · How it works
1
Copy it below and run it in a Databricks SQL warehouse or notebook. It reads system.billing.usage and list_prices: last 60 days, by hour.
2
Download the result as CSV and load it here. Optionally add the cluster settings export too.
3
Every finding with its monthly cost and saving. Premium adds the ready-to-run fix for each one.
What it finds
Scheduled jobs on interactive clusters pay 2–3× more per DBU than on job clusters.
Interactive clusters busy round the clock, including nights and weekends.
Warehouses running 20+ hours a day, and what auto-stop would save.
No auto-termination, no autoscaling, old runtimes, clusters outside any policy.
Money with no team or cost-centre tag, so nobody owns it.
Premium: troubleshoot a slow job (data skew, spill) and get the fix with your own table names, or the SOP for a new lakehouse.
Queries that spill or read whole tables, small files, queueing warehouses, oversized clusters, job steps getting slower.
Ask why the bill went up. Cluster, job and user names are never sent.
Step 1 · The export
Run in Databricks SQL (or a notebook) by someone who can read the system.billing schema, usually a workspace or account admin. Then download the result as CSV.
All queries are read-only SELECTs on the Databricks system tables, which need Unity Catalog. They read cost, settings and timings only: no table contents, no notebooks, no secrets. Literal values in SQL text are masked in report 3.
Privacy and security
No token, no connection to your workspace, no upload.
We never connect to your Databricks account. You run the query and share only its result with this page.
The export is analysed on your own computer. Close the tab and it is gone.
No copy of your data on QuantumData servers. We keep only your account and licence.
Ask AI gets only totals, shares and finding types. Cluster, job, warehouse and user names, and SQL text, are never sent.
