Got annoyed by not being able to see real-time costs in Databricks whilst manipulating data pipelines. Built a Chrome extension sitting in the corner of the page, pulls cluster and warehouse state from the API every few seconds, multiplies by DBU rates to show you a live $/hr estimate. Next, I want to add idle alerts when clusters have been sitting idle for 30 min.
Couple questions before I go deeper:
Would you install this or is just "live cost" not enough?
What would push it from neat to part of your daily workflow?
Anyone using something similar I should look at first?
happy to open-source it once there is clear interest.
