[Disclaimer: I work for a company that offers a Snowflake Cost Optimizer product] We’re an open-source monitoring & alerting tool and many of our users were using it to set alerts on their warehousing (Snowflake) costs. The problem with Snowflake is particularly worse due to its lack of query level attribution of costs and no in-built features for monitoring or recommendations on improvements. We’re building a Snowflake Cost Optimizer (https://www.chaosgenius.io/snowflake-cost-optimizer.html) and are hearing the same feedback from our customers as the author mentions. Snowflake is definitely coming up with features towards better cost transparency but I wonder if it’s too little too late.
