Databricks is sunsetting their standard tier, potentially doubling costs for some customers. This specific change isn't actually a big deal; it affects an inexpensive and limited plan with relatively few customers. It is, however, a good reminder that some enterprise costs can't be projected with SAAS products, and what you expect to pay today may be very different 5 years down the road. If #Snowflake or #Databricks decide to IPO, your costs go up to pad their P&L statement. For this reason, I recommend building layers of your pipeline on open-source tools with vibrant communities like #dbt. If one day your company deals with untenable expenses, you're not locked into a single data platform. Always plan your architecture for resiliency, and that includes retaining control of your costs.
