Databricks Doubles Cost. Reddit Explodes. I’m in Trouble!

I recently did a post on Linkedin and Reddit about Databricks removing Standard Tier and forcing folks into Unity Catalog. The post got big traction and blew up, more than I thought. Enough for the Databricks folk to hunt me down at work and tell me I’m naughty.

I will be writing a more in-depth post soon on Substack about the downsides of Vendor Lockin and how Data Teams should think about such things.
