CostSherlock

Would you like to find out if your data is ready to roll out Analytics use cases? If so how much potential up-side will you have with your data to the business? What are the potential use cases you may be able to drive?

Get in touch with us if you are interested in starting the Advanced Analytics journey to solve real life problems with real world financial impact.

Overview of the service:

From passive cost monitoring to proactive cost optimisation, CostSherlock goes beyond traditional billing dashboards and cost monitoring. Rather than simply showing how much you spend, it helps you understand what is driving your Databricks costs, where opportunities to optimize exist and what changes can deliver savings. By analyzing Databricks system signals and metadata, CostSherlock identifies inefficient patterns across your environment, estimates their financial impact and recommends practical improvements for engineering and platform teams.

CostSherlock helps you understand:

  • Where your Databricks spend is concentrated
  • What is driving costs and where inefficiencies exist
  • How much you could potentially save through optimisation
  • Which opportunities should be prioritised
  • What specific changes your teams can make to improve cost efficiency

What does CostSherlock analyze?

CostSherlock evaluates workloads and usage patterns across your Databricks environment, including:

  • Compute — cluster and warehouse utilisation
  • Queries — query execution and performance
  • Jobs and pipelines — scheduling and execution patterns
  • Tables and storage — storage utilisation and efficiency
  • Dashboards and materialised views — refresh and compute usage
  • AI and ML workloads — resource consumption and execution patterns

What you receive

  • Savings opportunities and priorities: A clear view of where Databricks costs are concentrated, the estimated savings potential and which workloads or resources offer the greatest optimization opportunities.
  • Root causes and actionable recommendations: An explanation of what is driving costs, the specific changes that can improve efficiency and a prioritized action plan to guide implementation.

Optimize continuously, not just periodically

As workloads evolve, so do your costs. CostSherlock helps organizations move beyond periodic cost reviews by identifying emerging inefficiencies and supporting more cost-efficient engineering practices over time.

How much could you save on Databricks?

Start with a CostSherlock diagnostic to understand what is driving your Databricks costs, identify potential savings and determine the actions your teams can take to optimize spend.
