serveless or classic

Discussion

Hi, serverless compute is now standard by Databricks, in your experience, did your costs got lower using serverless, mostly it was regarded as "use it for short lived jobs" but for your classic nightly ETL processes classical compute with DBR is still much more cost optimized where u dont here about perfromance.

Should people blindly use serverless because Databricks recommends it? Why?
