Snowflake is a cloud computing-based data warehousing company with over 4.5K customers and a product revenue of $213.8 million. Due to its scale and pricing structure, by analysing the usage of your company, there is the opportunity to make cost efficiencies and to achieve the optimum balance between cost and performance.
With the pricing model Snowflake offers, you only pay for the time each warehouse is open. Using the in-depth analytics ACF Snowflake Insights App provides, you can get an overview of your specific Snowflake account usage, enabling you to keep warehouses open only when they are being used efficiently, while still taking into consideration possible performance loss if they are closed down too frequently.
In addition, once you have identified your perfect warehouse load balance and boosted your performance, there is the option to receive notifications from the app each time it detects cost outliers or unexpected behaviour. Getting the right notifications at the right time can avoid unexpected time and money consuming practices.
Ensuring your company is GDPR compliant is of the upmost importance and with the app you will also gain visibility of all data tables that are not being continuously updated, so you can delete customer data (PII) permanently from your back-ups or from tables that are no longer used.
What is more, the app is intuitive and does not require any SQL knowledge to perform analysis, making it accessible to a variety of business professionals within your company.
