Serverless usage policies
Attribute serverless spend to a team or project by attaching a policy that tags the usage.
Why it is worth watching
Serverless usage is otherwise hard to attribute, which is how budgets get surprised.
What Public Preview promises
Open to everyone and supported for production use, though it can still change. On by default, and an admin can turn it off.
| Who can use it | Everyone |
|---|---|
| Production use | Yes |
| Support | The support team |
| On by default | Yes, with an opt-out |
The definitions are Databricks' own, on its release types page. The label on this page is the one the feature's documentation states, last checked on 14 Sept 2026.
Where to read more
It is part of something we wrote up: Cost attribution and budgets — Default tags, custom tags and where each one propagates, serverless usage policies, account budgets, and the billing system table that is the only record of what was actually spent.
