The Problem

Why teams leave Snowflake

Credit-based pricing is extremely hard to predict

Compute costs can spike from single queries

Storage and compute are billed separately

Auto-scaling can lead to runaway costs

No cost caps or circuit breakers by default

Data sharing/marketplace features drive additional spend

What We Build Instead

Your custom devops & engineering tool

Data warehouse with predictable infrastructure costs

Query optimization and resource management

Cost monitoring and alerting dashboards

Data pipeline orchestration and scheduling

Role-based access and data governance

Pay for compute instances, not credits
