Vinay, a Data Engineer at GlobalMart, was curious about Snowflake’s billing and sought guidance from Rahul, the Senior Architect.
Through their discussion, Vinay learned about compute costs , storage costs, On-Demand vs. Capacity pricing, multi-cluster warehouse billing, serverless charges, and cloud services usage limits. Rahul also explained data transfer costs, including ingestion, egress, and cross-region transfers.
This lesson explores how Snowflake’s billing model works and cost optimization strategies.
