Problem
Data engineers often struggle to optimize query performance and manage costs effectively in Snowflake due to the need to manually select the appropriate warehouse for each workload. This can lead to wasted credits and inefficient resource allocation.
Solution
Sundeck is a query engineering platform designed to automatically optimize Snowflake query routing, ensuring each query is executed on the most suitable warehouse. By analyzing query characteristics and historical performance, Sundeck dynamically adjusts warehouse assignments to maximize performance and minimize costs. The platform integrates with existing data tools and workflows, providing a seamless extension to Snowflake's capabilities. Sundeck empowers data engineers to define granular cost controls, implement user guardrails, and even extend SQL syntax, all through a configurable query engineering approach.
Target Audience
Sundeck is designed for data engineers and data platform teams using Snowflake who are looking to optimize query performance, reduce costs, and improve resource management.
Features
- Automated query routing to the optimal Snowflake warehouse based on query characteristics and historical performance.
- Granular cost control features, allowing for user-level, use-case level, or table-level resource limits.
- User help and guardrails to prevent common user errors and avoid unnecessary scans of large tables.
- Ability to add new query syntax and custom directives to expand SQL capabilities.
- Integration with popular data tools such as dbt, Hex, Looker, Sigma, SnowSQL, and Tableau.
- Open-source OpsCenter application for Snowflake cost management.
