Cost insights attribute warehouse spend, compute minutes, and connector activity to pipelines and teams. You answer “what drove last month’s bill?” with evidence instead of guesses.

Cost tracking

Costs roll up from:
  • Warehouse queries executed by Planasonix on your behalf (when telemetry is available from the warehouse)
  • Managed compute for Planasonix-hosted runners or integrated clusters
  • Egress and API charges where cloud billing APIs map usage to jobs
Tag pipelines with team, product, and env so finance can allocate spend fairly.
1

Connect billing sources

Admins link cloud billing exports or warehouse usage APIs in SettingsCompute / integrations (per deployment).
2

Validate attribution

Run a known test job and confirm its cost appears under the expected pipeline within 24–48 hours.
3

Review monthly

Compare top pipelines week over week; investigate new entrants after releases.

Usage analytics

Usage charts show CPU-hours, slot time, bytes scanned, or rows processed depending on the engine. Slice by schedule vs ad-hoc runs to see whether automation or manual previews dominate.
Find expensive nodes or queries to refactor first (wide scans before selective filters).

Optimization recommendations

Recommendations may suggest:
  • Cluster rightsizing for recurring jobs
  • Partition pruning opportunities in SQL
  • Caching or incremental patterns instead of full reloads
  • Moving dev workloads to smaller warehouses
Treat each suggestion as a hypothesis—validate with your warehouse’s query profiler before changing SLAs.
Some warehouses bill separately for storage; cost insights may focus on compute unless you integrate storage billing feeds.

Compute settings

Configure execution environments that drive spend.
