What types of Snowflake cost optimizations does Slingshot cover?
Slingshot optimizes the following objects in Snowflake:
How are warehouse schedule recommendations formulated?
Slingshot analyzes the workload and query attributes of a warehouse. It tracks factors such as, but not limited to, query size, query load, queued queries and data spillage. Based on these usage patterns, Slingshot generates recommendations that will optimize the Snowflake resources.
Do recommendations support Warehouses with QAS?
Yes, we analyze warehouses that have Query Acceleration Services (QAS) enabled and provide recommendations.
Additionally, in some cases, we can enhance QAS cost-efficiency by adjusting the time slots in the scheduling recommendations to account for delayed queries or queries that don't meet the eligibility criteria.
