About LakeSentry
LakeSentry is cost monitoring and optimization software for teams running Databricks. It connects to your Databricks environment and automatically attributes spend across workspaces, jobs, SQL warehouses, and users, so platform and FinOps teams see exactly where every dollar goes without manual investigation.
Beyond visibility, LakeSentry continuously detects cost anomalies and idle waste, and applies optimization actions through a safe, progressive workflow — shadow mode (recommendations only), then manual approval, then optional
fully automated execution. Delivered as SaaS with a free tier; paid plans are flat monthly, with no per-DBU surcharge and no per-workspace fees.
Feature list:
- Automatic cost attribution across workspaces, jobs, SQL warehouses, users
- Real-time anomaly and idle-waste detection
- Progressive optimization: shadow → manual → autopilot
- Databricks-native: Unity Catalog usage and cluster lifecycle aware
- Flat pricing, unlimited workspaces

Mavvrik
Mavvrik is an AI and hybrid infrastructure cost management platform that gives finance, FinOps, IT, and engineering teams one control center for GenAI, autonomous agents, GPUs, cloud, on-premises systems, Kubernetes, data platforms, and SaaS. It unifies cost, usage, and telemetry signals from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, VMware, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Snowflake, Databricks, and LiteLLM, creating a single source of truth across the technology stack. Teams can track every model call, agent interaction, GPU hour, workload, service, and resource, then allocate spending by customer, product, feature, project, application, environment, team, or cost center. Cost-to-serve and unit-economics analysis reveal margin drains, expensive workloads, and the true cost of delivering each offering. Real-time anomaly detection and alerts identify usage before it becomes a budget surprise, while predictive forecasting helps organizations model cloud, GPU, and AI expenses.
