Does the app provide insights into the cost of data storage and query processing in Snowflake?

Snowflake’s native app, the Snowflake Web Interface, does provide insights into the cost of data storage and query processing in Snowflake. Snowflake offers built-in features and reports that help users understand the cost associated with their data storage and query workloads.

Here are some ways Snowflake provides insights into data storage and query processing costs:

1. Warehouse Utilization and Credit Consumption: Snowflake allows users to monitor the resource utilization of their virtual warehouses, including credits consumed per warehouse and the credit usage history. This information provides visibility into the cost of query processing and resource consumption.
2. History and Billing Reports: Snowflake offers billing and usage reports that provide a detailed breakdown of the resources used, including data storage, query processing, and other services. These reports can be customized and scheduled to be sent regularly to relevant stakeholders.
3. Resource Monitors and Alerts: Resource monitors in Snowflake allow users to set specific usage thresholds and receive alerts when consumption surpasses those thresholds. These alerts help users proactively manage costs and prevent unexpected overages.
4. Warehouse Auto-Suspend and Auto-Resume: By using auto-suspend and auto-resume settings for virtual warehouses, users can save costs by automatically suspending idle warehouses and resuming them when needed.
5. Storage Consumption Tracking: Snowflake provides information on data storage usage, enabling users to track storage consumption over time. This information helps in managing data storage costs and optimizing data retention policies.
