# See exactly where your Databricks spend goes.

LakeSentry is a Databricks cost intelligence platform. Catch cost anomalies before they spiral, surface optimizations, and safely tune your environment — without risking production stability.

Read-only works. Write access only needed to execute actions.

Built from real optimization playbooks — for platform engineering, FinOps, and data leadership teams running Databricks at scale.

### For Platform Engineering

Pinpoint runaway jobs, warehouse drift, and regressions before they impact reliability.

### For FinOps

Get normalized cost visibility across workspaces with evidence-backed optimization priorities.

### For Data and ML teams

See where experiments and serving endpoints burn budget, then act with clear guardrails.

### For Leadership

Tie Databricks cost to operational decisions with a clear path from insight to action.

## Drill into every cost.

Break down spend by jobs, SQL warehouses, compute types, or teams. Pivot between views to find the signal in the noise — no SQL required.

## Your data stays yours.

LakeSentry connects via a read-only service principal. Start with zero-write access and keep full control.

### Read-only by default

LakeSentry uses a service principal with read-only access. Write permissions are optional and only needed if you choose to execute optimization actions.

### System tables only

We query Databricks system tables for usage and cost metadata. LakeSentry never accesses your business data, notebooks, or query results.

### Runs in your account

LakeSentry reads Databricks usage and cost metadata from your environment. In the MVP, query text may also be processed to improve insight quality.
