Cost Breakdown

The Cost Breakdown page at /finops/breakdown is the pivot table for FinOps. Pick any dimension (catalog, owner, team, job, query tag) and any time window, and the page renders the cost slice with drill-downs.

Dimensions​

  • Catalog / schema / table — for storage-centric analysis
  • Cluster / warehouse — for compute-centric analysis
  • User — by submitter_user_name from query history / job runs
  • Team — owner team from Ownership
  • Custom tag — workspace tags applied to clusters / jobs / warehouses
  • SKU — Databricks billable SKU

Pivot view​

The default view is a treemap — area = cost, colour = % growth vs. previous period. Drill into any tile to break it down by a second dimension.

For tabular detail, switch to the Table tab and group by 1–2 dimensions:

Dim 1Dim 2DBUsCostΔ vs. last period
SalesStorage2,400$1,200+12%
SalesCompute5,800$2,900-3%
FinanceStorage1,100$550flat

Comparison​

The Compare toggle overlays a second period (e.g. last month vs. this month). Cells show absolute and % delta, colour-coded.

Filters​

  • Date range
  • Owner team
  • Catalog / cluster / job — narrow before pivoting
  • Cost type — exclude time-travel, exclude photon, etc.

Export​

Export the current view as CSV, Excel, or a saved share-able link (URL state captures the entire pivot config).
