Snowflake · Workload Governance

Native attribution stops
at the warehouse.

Snowflake is the deep worked example of APEX: warehouses, storage, Cortex, and the Native App. Native attribution stops at the warehouse — Anavsan names the workload and owner.

The loop on Snowflake

Credits, warehouses, Cortex — then proof

Trace credit waste. Assign an owner. Enforce through your review. Prove from the data. The engine write-up lives on APEX.

Trace — idle warehouses, spilling queries, Time Travel, Cortex tokens.
Assign — PKG names the owner, or says needs owner.
Enforce — the change goes through your PR.
Prove — the finding closes when credits recover.

FAQ

Snowflake hub questions

What this page covers, how we connect, and how the Native App differs from the full loop.

What does this Snowflake hub cover?
This hub is the map of Anavsan on Snowflake. Cost and credit governance, Storage Intelligence, AI and Cortex visibility, the Native App, assessments, the Cortex Cost Simulator, and Snowflake-specific language such as query spillage. 200+ Snowflake signals feed the Private Knowledge Graph. The APEX engine itself lives on /apex.
Does Anavsan read Snowflake table contents?
No — metadata-only ACCOUNT_USAGE-class signals. Anavsan reads query fingerprints, warehouse usage, storage and cost metadata. It never reads, copies, or moves table contents.
How long does it take to connect Snowflake to Anavsan?
Most teams connect in about five minutes. A keypair-authenticated service user with metadata-only access is enough. First attributed burn is available on day one.
How is the full Anavsan platform different from the Snowflake Native App?
The Native App is monitoring inside Snowflake; the full platform adds assignment and closure. PKG, Enforcement Desk, and PR-gated decisions live on the platform — not AutoApply. Read the comparison →
Does Anavsan also govern BigQuery?
Yes — same loop, BigQuery objects. Cortex, Native App, and the simulator stay on this hub. BigQuery hub →
