Hi everyone! 👋
I wanted to share with you a post I wrote on Medium a while ago — it’s still very useful if you want to understand how to properly calculate Databricks cluster costs and get a realistic view of the differences:

Some highlights from the post:

Hope this helps anyone facing the same questions — feedback and discussion are always welcome! 🙂
