“We achieved 1,000 QPS concurrencies with p95 SLAs of < 2s on near real-time data & complex queries. Other industry leaders couldn’t meet this even at a far higher TCO.”

Why Do Databricks Cost Optimizations Hit a Ceiling?

The cost optimizations rely on step sizing and scaling on VM-centric, monolithic architecture that's inefficient for the highly concurrent & unpredictable SQL+AI workloads of today

Granularity

Scales up/down at cluster-level with step-jumps. Even Auto-Scaling is reactive & coarse-grained

Concurrency

Requires over-provisioning or queuing that add up the costs.

Orchestration Costs

High operational overhead for cluster tuning, sizing, ETL etc

Data Access

ETL latency and Formatting overhead. Storage adds up to the bill.

Data Movement

Egress and Network costs for un/loading data

Billing Model

(DBUs consumed × DBU rate)Cloud infrastructure cost

How e6data Pushes Beyond These Limits

The cost optimizations rely on truly distributed, Kubernetes-native architecture with granular sizing and scaling (~vCPU level), purpose-built for concurrent & unpredictable SQL+AI workloads of today

Granularity

Scales up/down at vCPU-level with guardrails in place

Concurrency

Designed for independently scaling micro-services

Orchestration Costs

Negligent due to automated cluster management, provisioning, & cost guardrails.

Data Access

Compatible to all formats & catalogs, be it Iceberg or Delta lake

Data Movement

Location-aware execution cuts down data movement and egress costs

How It Works

How it was
How it was

Most datasets were GB to 10 TB. Only big consumer internet firms reached PB scale.

How it is / will be

10 TB – 1 PB is normal. Exabyte data and large vector stores are routine.

How it was

People hand-built ETL, set up clusters, and wrote queries.

How it is / will be

AI agents create pipelines, launch databases, and fire tuned queries on demand.

How it was

Base traffic stayed below 1 query per second; peaks were only 50 % higher.

How it is / will be

Steady 1 000 QPS with elastic bursts 10 × higher for AI training and inference.

How it was

Queries took tens of seconds to minutes, and dashboards read from day-old extracts.

How it is / will be

Answers come in under a second on live data only seconds behind source.

How it was

Human analysts wrote SQL; dashboards and reports issued most queries

How it is / will be

AI agents and autonomous apps launch most queries; humans focus on oversight

FAQs

How does e6data speed up Databricks and cut DBU costs?
e6data is powered by the industry’s only atomic architecture. Rather than scaling in step jumps (L x 1 -> L x 2), e6data scales atomically, by as little as 1 vCPU. In production with widely varying loads, this translates to >60% TCO savings.
I use both Snowflake and Databricks. Can I adopt e6data alongside both of them? Do I have to move out?
We integrate with your existing data architecture—whether you’re using Databricks, Snowflake, Trino, Athena, or any other engine—alongside your chosen catalog, governance framework, table format, and BI tools. You can deploy us anywhere: single or multi-cloud, multi-region, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment.
Does e6data speed up Iceberg on Databricks?
Yes, depending on your workload, you can see faster speeds through our native and advanced Iceberg support.
How long does it take to deploy e6data alongside Databricks?
Sign up the form and get your instance started. You can deploy it to any cloud, region, deployment model, without copying or migrating any data from Snowflake.
