Databricks, optimized
at every layer.
Automatically.
Most tools see Databricks as infrastructure. Unravel sees it at the query, job, and code level — across every workload type — and autonomously fixes what's wasting money and breaking SLAs.
Unravel sees your entire pipeline —
every notebook, every command.
Then rewrites the one causing the problem.
A Databricks job is a hierarchy: pipelines made of notebooks, notebooks made of commands. Most tools stop at the job level. Unravel goes all the way down — and when Arvix finds the slow or expensive command, it rewrites the code, shows you the diff, and lets you apply it in one click.
Same problem. Two very different outcomes.
Pick a scenario. See what happens with your LLM — and with Arvix.
Always on. Always fixing.
Three agents. Every Databricks problem category. They act — or ask — depending on how much autonomy you want.
You probably already have tools. Here's where they stop.
Every category solves part of the problem. Unravel is the only one that closes the loop.
Enterprise teams. Proven results.
Running Databricks at scale across financial services, healthcare, aviation, and beyond.
“We were relying on Databricks system tables and a home-grown FinOps tool that just gave us dashboard information. Eight months into Unravel, we’d already realized an 8x ROI from realized savings.
“One problem we’d been working on for days took Unravel just 12 minutes to fix, and saved over $700 a month just for that job.”
“We needed to cut Databricks spend without jeopardizing SLA's on the jobs our teams depend on. Unravel did both, resulting in $1.9 million in Year 1 savings and over 99.99% SLA compliance.”
Commonly asked questions about our Databricks optimization platform

Data teams spend most of their time preparing data - data aggregation, cleansing, deduplication, synchronizing and standardizing data, ensuring data quality, timeliness, and accuracy, etc. - rather than actually delivering insights from analytics. Everybody needs to be working off a "single source of truth" to break down silos, enable collaboration, eliminate finger-pointing, and empower more self-service. Although the goal is to prevent data quality issues, assessing and improving data quality typically begins with monitoring and optimization, detecting anomalies, and analyzing root causes of those anomalies.

No. Databricks Units (DBUs) are reference units of Databricks Lakehouse Platform capacity used to price and compare data workloads. DBU consumption depends on the underlying compute resources and the data volume processed. Cloud resources such as compute instances and cloud storage are priced separately. Databricks pricing is available for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You can estimate costs online for Databricks on AWS, Azure Databricks, and Databricks on Google Cloud, then add estimated cloud compute and storage costs with the AWS Pricing Calculator, the Azure Pricing Calculator, and the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
Cost 360 for Databricks provides trends and chargeback by app, user, department, project, business unit, queue, cluster, or instance. You can see a cost breakdown for Databricks clusters in real time, including related services such as DBUs and VMs for each configured Databricks account on the Databricks Cost Chargeback details tab. In addition, you get a holistic view of your cluster, including resource utilization, chargeback, and instance health, with automated AI-based cluster cost-saving recommendations and suggestions.

Unravel for Databricks Optimization offers flexible deployment options to meet your organization's requirements and security preferences. You can deploy our data platform optimization software as a fully managed SaaS solution for rapid implementation, through a cloud marketplace for streamlined procurement and billing, or as an on-premises deployment within your own VPC for maximum control and data residency requirements. This flexibility makes Unravel's Databricks optimization solutions adaptable to any enterprise architecture or compliance framework.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering enables you to create a network connection between Databricks clusters and your AWS resources, even across regions, enabling you to route traffic between them using private IP addresses. For example, if you are running both an Unravel EC2 instance and a Databricks cluster in the us-east-1 region but configured with different VPC and subnet, there is no network access between the Unravel EC2 instance and Databricks cluster by default. To enable network access, you can set up VPC peering to connect Databricks to your EC2 Unravel instance.

Virtual network (VNET) peering enables you to create a network connection between Azure Databricks clusters and your Azure resources, even across regions, enabling you to route traffic between them using private IP addresses. For example, if you are running both an Unravel VM and Azure Databricks cluster in the East US region but configured with different VNET and subnet, there is no network access between the Unravel VM and Databricks cluster by default. To enable network access, you can set up VNET peering between your Azure Databricks master node and your Unravel VM.
