• Decide with the guide

  decide

  Interactive: walks a Databricks decision one question at a time (which-compute, serverless-or-classic, lakebase-or-delta, genie-or-dashboard, streaming-or-batch): every answer rests on the guide's own sentences, verbatim, with the section to read. Call it when the user asks "should I use serverless or classic", "Lakebase or Delta?", "Genie or a dashboard?" or "which compute for this job". The text gives the whole tree; send choices (option numbers so far) for the answer. In a terminal that shows forms, form: true asks each question as a form.

• Estimate Databricks cost

  estimate_cost

  Estimate a Databricks workload's monthly cost from the figures the Field Guide states (list prices per DBU by compute type, DBUs an hour by SQL warehouse size and classic instance type, model serving prices for pay-per-token, provisioned throughput, GPU and CPU serving, Apps and Genie rates, the Lakebase floor, storage), as a range with its assumptions, and the price per unit under unit_prices. Every number carries its source sentence, section URL, date and the pricing page the guide cites. Where the guide has no figure (cloud VM prices, a serverless job's DBUs an hour, a model or instance type it does not list) it says so under gaps instead of guessing.
