This is Edition #7 of the newsletter, focused on how pricing really works in modern data platforms like Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks. It explains how compute consumption (CUs vs DBUs) is the main cost driver and why architecture—not pricing tables—ultimately determines spend. The article explores the impact of storage, data movement, and query behavior on total cost, highlighting hidden inefficiencies. It also compares both platforms’ approaches to scalability and performance. Finally, it provides practical strategies for cost optimization through better design, observability, and FinOps discipline.
