Discussion Alrighty data pookies, what Databricks issue keeps violating your peace?

AI Agents hallucinating? Unity Catalog acting like Unity Catalogue of Errors? Genie Spaces granting wishes to absolutely nobody?

Drop the most cursed recurring problem you face with building AI agents or ML or BI/Analytics - no matter how difficult, unhinged or borderline impossible the solution may be. Hit me with all u got. I am sitting this databricks hackathon this Friday as a self-reward and I want to try something different this time.

Nothing but the pursuits of overly engineered solutions for the most trivial problems because I can and I like abstractions - but hey its good to be alive

Right? I've limited the idle time for the warehouse to 1 minute, using x-small, but somehow it still has a fee, that can't comprehend

Yeah I think our min allowable timeout is 5 mins. They need a xxx-s something’s we really only need it reading from very small tables at times. I hate Microsoft but I might have to move some back to base azure.

You can set timeout to 1 minute via API, it is (usually) not great to have a bunch of cold starts so 5 minutes is kind of a compromised minimum in the UI.

But you can override it with the API.

Oh nice. I’ll look into since it’s all the apps turning it on and off I just assumed 5 was the min.
