“Keebo today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2024, that it has launched Workload Intelligence, Powered by Snowflake on Snowflake Marketplace. This free version of Workload Intelligence on Snowflake Marketplace will enable joint customers to have full visibility into their costs, identify their performance bottlenecks, identify their inefficient queries, and advise their data teams to take advantage of optimization opportunities.”Â
“‘[The] low barrier to entry means that new data, users and use cases can be deployed quickly and easily. The downside of this low barrier is that costs can run away as quickly as usage rises. The first few cloud bills are often quite a shock,’ says Barzan Mozafari, founder and CEO at Snowflake optimization solution provider Keebo.”Â
“‘Keebo was founded in 2019 by CEO Barzan Mozafari to build a business based on academic research conducted as an associate professor at the University of Michigan. The core emphasis of the company is to combine expertise in machine learning and database systems to automate the optimization of data warehouse environments and improve query performance.”Â
