Above the clouds: A plan to optimise Snowflake

In today's data-driven world, optimising cloud data warehouses is paramount. Snowflake's rapid growth, with the industry predicted to reach $29 billion by 2030, underscores its significance.

Organisations must grapple with escalating data volumes and the thirst for real-time analytics. While existing tools focus on workflow, spending, and forecasts, Keyrus takes it further.

Introducing Keyrus's Value-added Cloud Consumption framework, designed to tackle core questions:

  1. What is the business use case?

  2. Who is responsible for cost?

  3. Where is the ROI?

Cloud Consumption framework overview

Design > Forecast > Monitoring and Governance

  • Design

Planning and structuring your data warehouse according to the specific needs of the project. The aim is to create a blueprint that efficiently supports data flow from source systems to the end data products and allows collaboration and effective use of the data. This stage is crucial as a well-structured data warehouse facilitates effective data analysis and decision-making.

  • Forecast

Forecasting credit consumption involves predicting the volume of computational resources required based on your data workloads. This could be influenced by factors like the number of users, frequency and complexity of queries, and amount of data processed. Accurate forecasting helps ensure you purchase the appropriate amount of Snowflake credits, allowing for efficient use of resources and cost optimisation.

  • Monitoring and Governance

Monitoring and managing the use of Snowflake credits to ensure they are being used efficiently and cost-effectively. Monitoring tools provide insights into how credits are being consumed, helping identify patterns or trends that might indicate inefficiencies or opportunities for optimisation. Establishing policies and rules for credit consumption. Setting usage limits and allocating credits to different data products. Ensures that credit consumption aligns with the product value.
