Snowflake + BigQuery

Make every data workload earn its compute.

A workload is the job behind the cost: dbt, Fivetran, Snowpark, Dataform, Dynamic Tables, Cortex, Looker, Tableau, and the other tools already running on the account. Anavsan reads how that job ran, then tells your team what to do next. It recommends the action. Your team approves anything that changes production.

DataOps gets the next action CIO / CTO keeps growth controllable

Your business data stays in your account Production changes wait for your approval

The problem

Your data platform is growing. So is everything running on it.

Applications, pipelines, AI-written queries, and AI workloads keep landing on the same account. Native tools show what was consumed. Anavsan tells your team what should happen next.

Applications

New products keep landing on the same warehouse or project.

Pipelines

ELT jobs multiply faster than anyone reviews their compute.

AI-generated SQL

A query can be written in seconds. It can also waste compute for months.

AI workloads

Agents and Cortex jobs add a new class of spend with the same old gap.

Native tools

Show what was consumed.

Credits, slots, jobs, and warehouses after the fact.

Anavsan

Tells you what should happen next.

Evaluate the workload. Recommend one action. Your team approves it. Then measure it again.

How a decision gets made

Workload in. One action out.

APEX recommends Run, Optimize, Redirect, or Review. Redirect names a better path. It does not move the workload. Your team approves anything that changes production.

  1. 01

    See the workload

    Name the work behind the cost, not only the account it landed on.

  2. 02

    Recommend one action

    Run, Optimize, Redirect, or Review. One choice, with the reason.

  3. 03

    Your team approves

    The change goes through your review. Anavsan does not apply it.

  4. 04

    Measure it again

    Same workload. Did the cost fall, and does the performance requirement still hold?

Run

Keep it moving. No change.

Optimize

Use less compute. Same requirement.

Redirect

Take a better path. You make the move.

Review

Needs a person before it becomes scheduled spend.

See it on this page

One workload. One recommendation.

Pick a kind of work. Watch the recommendation, and why a team could approve it. The numbers are illustrative. They are not a customer result.

The workload
SF dbt model Snowflake · dbt · every hour · illustrative
What it shows
CostAbout 1,540 credits / month on X-Large
Performance8 min. No queue. No spill. One query.
PatternChecked on Large: 11 min, still no queue or spill
OwnerData engineering

The recommendation
Use a Large warehouse. The same workload was checked there first.
Why it holds

Cutting the warehouse in half did not double the runtime. On Large the same runs take about 11 minutes instead of 8, still one query at a time, still no queue and no spill. The requirement is 45 minutes.

Who decides

Anavsan recommends the smaller warehouse. Data engineering approves it.

Illustrative data. Not a customer result.

Who it is for

One engine. Two operating jobs.

DataOps gets a named action. The CIO and CTO see which workloads still earn their compute, so growth stays controllable.

For the CIO / CTO

Keep growth controllable.

See which workloads earned their compute, and which ones cost more than the performance they have to deliver. Room for later AI work can follow. It is not the claim this page leads with.

Keep what is earning its cost. Change what is not.

Keep It earned its cost

Performance is met and the spend is in line. Leave it running.

Change Cost is ahead of the bar

One recommendation. The team approves it. Then you measure that workload again.

For DataOps

Get the next action, not another alert.

APEX names the workload, the owner, and the change. Your review deploys it. The same workload is measured again.

  1. 1
    The workload

    The job behind the cost, not only the account it ran in.

  2. 2
    The owner

    The team that can actually change it.

  3. 3
    The approval

    They ship it through the review they already use.

  4. 4
    The proof

    The same workload, measured again, so the ticket stays closed.

Snowflake and BigQuery

One way of deciding, on both platforms.

The words differ. The decision does not. See the workload, recommend the change, your team approves, then measure it again.

Safe to evaluate

Your data stays. Your team stays in control.

Anavsan works from how workloads run and what they cost. It does not take the contents of your tables, and it does not change production on its own.

Business data stays put

Snowflake stays in Snowflake. BigQuery stays in BigQuery. Table contents are not the input.

You approve the change

A recommendation is not a production change. Your review still applies.

The detail is public

Where operational data goes, how long it is kept, and how the Native App differs. No sign-in.
