Regarding the licensing cost of Azure Databricks, it has evolved quite a lot. The compute is the biggest cost, as with any other big data solutions. The storage cost is almost minimal or negligible. Azure Databricks gives the capability to handle a lot of big data use cases and machine learning use cases, but machine learning use cases need quite a lot of compute power, and that is where the cost spikes up. There are features available for auto-scaling both up and down, vertically and horizontally. Still, in this regard, there are other tools such as Snowflake that are doing a little better with data warehousing workloads. The cost itself is based on t-shirt sizes. Earlier, it used to be different clusters and sizes. They are evolving as time progresses, which is helpful. At this point, I cannot comment on the cost being ideal; it is on the higher side, but in the cloud-based environment, compared to on-premise, it could be far lesser in cost.
Data Science Platforms empower data analysts to develop, evaluate, and deploy analytical models efficiently. They integrate data exploration, visualization, and predictive modeling in one cohesive environment.These platforms serve as indispensable tools for data-driven decision-making, providing intuitive interfaces and scalable computing power. They enable seamless collaboration between data scientists and business stakeholders, allowing actionable insights to drive strategic initiatives...
