What we look at

What We'll Help You Fix

When you submit a query, warehouse config, or storage issue, here's the kind of thing our engineers dig into — the same patterns that have cut 30–50% off Snowflake bills.

Query Profile Mastery
Read Query Profiles like a pro — identify partition pruning inefficiency, spill to disk, and join explosion in under 60 seconds.
Warehouse Tuning Patterns
Right-sizing, auto-suspend policies, multi-cluster decision criteria, and workload isolation — hands-on SQL and ALTER WAREHOUSE patterns.
The 10 Most Expensive Query Patterns
Full table scans, cartesian joins, repeated uncached queries, over-SELECTing columns — see each pattern live and apply the fix.
Clustering & Partition Strategy
How to choose clustering keys, read pruning metrics, and decide when reclustering credit cost is worth the query-time saving.
Cost Attribution with account_usage
Build a real-time cost attribution model using QUERY_HISTORY, METERING_DAILY_HISTORY, and WAREHOUSE_METERING_HISTORY.
AI & Cortex Cost Governance
Tag Cortex workloads, monitor AI_COMPLETE and AI_EMBED spend, and build a per-team AI credit budget with Resource Monitors.

FAQ

Common Questions

A Snowflake cost specialist reviews your query, warehouse config, or storage issue and emails you back — usually within 1–2 business days — with concrete suggestions and an invite to a 1-on-1 session or an upcoming live clinic.

Yes, entirely free. We do this to help data teams govern Snowflake costs and to learn what real workloads people are struggling with — no obligation, no credit card.

A slow or expensive SQL query, warehouse size and configuration details, or a storage / Time Travel cost issue. If you’re unsure what’s driving spend, describe the symptom and we’ll help diagnose it.

No. Share only what you're comfortable with. Feel free to redact table names, literals, or business logic — the query shape, warehouse settings, and cost symptoms are usually enough for us to help. We never ask for credentials or account access.

Dates are firming up now. When you submit a challenge you're first in line — we'll email you the schedule and reserve a spot before we open it more widely.

Absolutely. Each person can submit their own challenge. For a private team session covering several workloads, mention it in the outcome box or email contactus@anavsan.com.
