Snowflake charges storage in four categories. Most teams only see "Storage" as a single line. Time Travel, Fail-Safe, and clone overhead compound every day without attribution.
Tables retain deleted data for the configured retention period. Staging and temp tables with 7-day or 90-day retention pay for data nobody will ever restore.
Zero-copy clones start free, but once a clone is modified via DML it accumulates independent storage. Forgotten dev/test clones quietly inflate your bill month after month.
Your bill shows "Storage: $2,400." Which table, which schema, which team is responsible? Without attribution, reducing storage costs is guesswork.
Anavsan maps every byte of Time Travel, Fail-Safe, clone, and active storage to the table, schema, and owning team — so you know exactly what to reduce and who to route the action to.
Anavsan maps every storage cost to its source — Time Travel, Fail-Safe, clones, table growth — with actionable recommendations for each.
Snowflake charges storage in four categories. Active data is obvious — but Time Travel, Fail-Safe, and clone overhead typically account for 20–40% of storage spend and are almost never directly attributed per table.
From connection to actionable storage recommendations in minutes. No infrastructure changes, no data movement.
Anavsan connects using a read-only service user. Only ACCOUNT_USAGE and INFORMATION_SCHEMA signals — zero business data leaves Snowflake.
APEX maps every byte of active, Time Travel, Fail-Safe, and clone storage to the owning table, schema, database, and team using Snowflake metadata.
Every optimization — retention reduction, stale clone removal, cold table archival — is ranked by projected monthly saving so you work the highest-value actions first.
Before/after storage comparisons are captured automatically after changes — ready for cost governance review with timestamp, owner, and credit evidence.
