TL;DR

Anavsan is on Snowflake Marketplace as a native app. It monitors credits, warehouses, queries, and storage inside your account, using metadata only. No business data leaves Snowflake.

Anavsan is now available as a native app on Snowflake Marketplace. The goal is credit visibility without a security review for exporting metadata, and without standing up an external integration.

The app runs inside your Snowflake account, reads system metadata only, and does not take automated production actions. For how that compares with the full APEX platform, see Native App vs Full Platform.

Why a Native App?

When we talked to Snowflake data engineering and FinOps teams, we heard a consistent pattern:

  • We know the Snowflake bill is too high, but we cannot see why without hours of manual ACCOUNT_USAGE queries.
  • We tried external monitoring tools, but security will not approve exporting Snowflake metadata outside the environment.
  • We need visibility first, before we can confidently make optimization changes.

Those constraints are why the Native App exists: monitoring that security can approve this week, not after a six-month vendor review.

What the Native App provides

These conversations led us to build a Snowflake-native monitoring surface. Within minutes of installation you can:

  • Identify top warehouses by credit consumption
  • Surface the most expensive queries
  • Track storage growth trends
  • Understand spend patterns

Analyze compute efficiency:

  • Warehouse size distribution
  • Idle time analysis
  • Utilization metrics
  • Right-sizing recommendations

Detect problematic queries:

  • High-credit consumption
  • Slow execution times
  • Failure patterns
  • Estimated credit impact

Track storage costs:

  • Database storage
  • Time Travel retention
  • Fail-safe impact

Recommendations are advisory only. The Native App does not rewrite queries or change warehouse configuration for you.

100% native architecture

What “native” means here:

  • Runs entirely inside your Snowflake account
  • Read-only metadata access — no business data
  • No data export to external systems
  • No agents to deploy or maintain
  • Inherits Snowflake RBAC
  • Zero production impact beyond what Snowflake already records

Your data never leaves Snowflake. Install from the Marketplace listing, grant metadata privileges, and refresh. Typical setup is under ten minutes. Product details are on the Native App page.

Monitoring without a short trial clock

Unlike a typical 7-day or 14-day trial, Monitoring for one Snowflake account is free. You can thoroughly understand credit consumption, identify optimization opportunities, build a business case, and explore at your own pace. The Native App includes full credit visibility, on-demand refresh, single-account monitoring, and advisory recommendations.

Who should use it

The Native App is the right first product if you are asking:

  • Why is our Snowflake bill so high?
  • Which warehouses are consuming the most credits?
  • Are our queries optimized?
  • Is storage growth out of control?

It is built for data engineers seeking credit insights, FinOps teams managing budgets, platform teams monitoring infrastructure, and anyone who needs visibility before taking action.

Native App vs full platform

Think of it as a journey. Start with visibility. Graduate to optimization when ready.

Native App (understand):

  • Credit monitoring and visibility
  • Warehouse and query analysis
  • Storage tracking
  • Manual refresh, single account

Full Anavsan platform (optimize):

  • Agentic AI query optimization
  • Multi-account management
  • Team collaboration workflows
  • Query vault with version control
  • Real-time alerts and automation
  • Credit simulator for testing changes

You do not have to migrate. The decision framework is in Native App vs Full Platform.

Getting started

  1. Find Anavsan on Snowflake Marketplace and click Get.
  2. Approve read-only access to system metadata.
  3. Refresh to analyze and view insights.

Total time is typically under ten minutes.

What’s next

The Native App is the in-account monitoring surface. We continue to deepen Marketplace coverage and the upgrade path into the full platform for ownership, simulation, and enforcement. Questions: contactus@anavsan.com.
