Cost efficient alternative to databricks lock-in
Cost efficient alternative to databricks lock-in

Spark-based data PaaS solutions are convenient. But they come with their own set of challenges such as a high vendor lock-in and obscured costs. We show how to use a dedicated orchestrator ([dagster-pipes](https://docs.dagster.io/guides/dagster-pipes)). It can not only make Databricks an implementation detail but also save cost. Also, it improves developer productivity. It allows you to take back control.
