Greybeam
Greybeam is a Snowflake proxy that connects existing BI tools and applications to Greybeam instead of directly to Snowflake. A decision engine analyzes each incoming query and routes it to the most efficient engine: queries eligible for DuckDB run on Greybeam-managed DuckDB clusters, while queries requiring Snowflake are passed through. No code changes or migrations are required; users swap their Snowflake connection string and everything else stays the same.

Problem
Data teams often struggle with inefficient SQL queries and suboptimal Snowflake performance, leading to increased costs and reduced efficiency. Manually identifying and resolving these inefficiencies requires significant time and expertise.
Solution
Greybeam is a Snowflake proxy. Users connect their existing BI tools and applications to Greybeam instead of directly to Snowflake. A decision engine analyzes each incoming query and routes it to the most efficient engine: queries eligible for DuckDB (typically analytical and BI queries) run on Greybeam-managed DuckDB clusters, while queries that require Snowflake (complex writes, large joins, unsupported SQL) are transparently passed through to Snowflake. No code changes or migrations are required; users swap their Snowflake connection string and everything else stays the same.
Target Audience
Greybeam is designed for data teams who want to maximize Snowflake performance and minimize costs.
