[Quick recap] Playbooks are where we showcase the best of what data teams are doing that you can implement quickly, and see big impacts. In this playbook, we’ll dive into cost monitoring, specifically how Dext cut its Snowflake spend in half with a few interventions.
What I love about this particular playbook is that it is not your average cost-savings story. When I’ve been involved in cost-savings exercises, someone usually angrily tells me to stop doing some activity or using some tool, and I get defensive. Yordan has used a cost-savings goal to do the opposite: to repair relationships, and to help people have a deeper understanding of the company’s data.
