Only pay for what you use
No up front costs. Only pay for the compute resources you use at per-second granularity with simple pay-as-you-go, or discounted usage commitment pricing options.
Jobs Light Compute vs. Jobs Compute
Databricks offers two flavors of its data processing engine to run production jobs - Jobs Compute and Jobs Light Compute. Choose either one or use both to maximize your ROI.
JOBS LIGHT COMPUTE
Jobs Light Compute is Databricks’ equivalent of open source Apache Spark. It targets simple, non-critical workloads that don’t need the benefits provided by Jobs Compute.
JOBS COMPUTE
Jobs Compute runs on Databricks’ optimized engine that provides advanced performance, reliability, and autoscaling benefits to boost your team’s productivity and reduce total cost of ownership.
Databricks Unit (DBU)
A Databricks Unit (“DBU”) is a unit of processing capability per hour, billed on per-second usage. Databricks supports many GCP virtual machine types. The larger the VM is, the more DBUs you will be consuming on an hourly basis. See the full list of supported VMs and details.

GCP pricing FAQ
What is a DBU?
A Databricks Unit (“DBU”) is a unit of processing capability per hour, billed on per-second usage. Databricks supports many GCP virtual machine types. The larger the VM is, the more DBUs you will be consuming on an hourly basis. See the full list of supported VMs and details.
What is the difference between Jobs workloads and All-Purpose workloads?
Jobs workloads are workloads running on Jobs clusters. Jobs clusters are clusters that are both started and terminated by the same Job. Only one job can be run on a Jobs cluster for isolation purposes. All-Purpose workloads are workloads running on All-Purpose clusters. All-Purpose clusters are clusters that are not classified as Jobs clusters. They can be used for various purposes such as running commands within Databricks notebooks, connecting via JDBC/ODBC for BI workloads, running MLflow experiments on Databricks. Multiple users can share an All-Purpose cluster for doing interactive analysis in a collaborative way.
Do you provide technical support?
We offer technical support with annual commitments. Contact us to learn more or get started.
For intra-node encryption for Spark, is there anything I need to do to turn it on?
Yes. We provide our customers with the ability to decide for themselves whether the tradeoffs for additional encryption are necessary given the workloads being processed. Please contact us to enable it.
