Thank you for sharing your insights! You make a great point about the cost considerations associated with managed services in Databricks. While managed tables offer advantages in terms of performance, optimization, governance, and security, it’s always important to evaluate cost implications based on specific workloads.

A cost-benefit analysis can help determine which processes truly benefit from managed services versus those that can be optimized through cloud provider resource management (e.g., horizontal autoscaling, cluster size adjustments). We’ll take your feedback into account and ensure the right balance between cost efficiency and operational benefits.

Appreciate your input!
