“With great compute power comes great financial responsibility.” As the internal Data Platform team, we manage one of the largest Databricks environments in the world, which means we also manage one of the largest cloud bills. This session unveils our internal FinOps practices. We will demonstrate how we use System Tables, budgets and tagging policies to attribute costs to hundreds of internal teams, identify waste and enforce accountability. Learn how to implement the same governance controls that we use to keep our finance team happy while empowering 10,000+ employees to innovate.

As data-driven companies scale from small startups to global enterprises, managing secure data access becomes increasingly complex. Traditional access control models fall short at enterprise scale, where dynamic, purpose-driven access is essential. In this talk, we explore how our “Just-in-Time” Purpose-Based Access Control (PBAC) platform addresses the evolving challenges of data privacy and compliance, maintaining least privilege while ensuring productivity. Using features like Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing & Databricks Apps, the platform delivers real-time, context-aware data governance. Leveraging JIT PBAC keeps your data secure, your engineers productive, your legal & security teams happy and your organization future-proof in the ever-evolving compliance landscape.
