We’ve been moving our workflows out of Databricks to PostgreSQL to save a ton. Wonder if what they’re going to do with this would have been handy at the time.

Where is the saving coming from if i may ask ? Are you guys using Databricks offerings or a self managed spark cluster ?
I'm willing to bet they are moving from databricks offerings, considering their pricing is insanity.
If your data fits into Postgres, using Databricks is just plain waste of money.
Anything you'd be missing about Spark from doing so?

Would like to know more about the cost tradeoffs, also. Please elaborate.
