How Acceldata Provides Cost Optimization for Snowflake Environments

Snowflake, a popular cloud data platform, reported an 83% increase in year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 of 2022. Its ability to automatically scale cloud infrastructure based on workloads is a significant differentiator. However, this feature can lead to unexpected costs if not monitored properly. Acceldata's guardrails help data teams implement Snowflake best practices by providing automatic resource alerts and monitoring various aspects of the platform, such as setting appropriate timeout limits, purging dormant users, and more. This helps prevent costly mistakes and ensures efficient use of computing resources in a highly scalable cloud environment like Snowflake.
