Stop Paying for Snowflake Multicluster

In the dark ages of 2015, Snowflake users with unpredictable workloads had to either manually manage traffic volumes or waste money overprovisioning their warehouses to be able to absorb spikes. Snowflake solved this by launching multicluster warehouses, enabling users to point all their queries at one logical warehouse and automatically scaling the number of clusters to match load.

This does a great job of reducing operational complexity, but there’s a catch: you need to upgrade to Enterprise and pay 50% more on your entire Snowflake bill to take advantage of this feature.

We’ve built a standalone implementation of multicluster scheduling that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg. Our system not only provides autoscaling to Snowflake customers on the Standard plan - it also uses AI for smarter autoscaling, saving an average of 30% on credit costs with no impact to latency.

Stay tuned for future blog posts where we go into how Espresso AI’s scheduler does a better job of scheduling queries.

In the meantime, if you use multicluster, we can save you 30-50% on your bill. Contact us at multicluster@espresso.ai and stop paying Snowflake for multicluster!
