Stop Managing Snowflake, Start Mastering It: The Latest Updates from Keebo
From Management Overhead to Strategic Mastery
As your Snowflake usage scales, so does the complexity of managing your Snowflake environment. Costs creep, performance tuning eats engineering hours, and governing Snowflake spend feels like a guessing game. feels like a guessing game. Too often, teams find themselves just managing the platform instead of mastering it to drive real value.
At Keebo, our mission has never been just about adding random features. It’s about ending that overhead and giving you complete command over your data platform. Over recent months, we’ve delivered key updates that make it easier than ever to achieve autonomous optimization, intelligent governance, and precise visibility.
Here’s how our latest enhancements across the Keebo platform empower you to shift from management overhead to strategic mastery, delivering tangible results and quicker time-to-value.
AI-Powered Snowflake Optimization: Smarter, More Resilient Savings
We’ve made major leaps toward truly hands-off, intelligent optimization you can trust completely.
Deeper Savings with Advanced AI
We’ve rolled out a significant improvement to our core AI agent, now powered by advanced Reinforcement Learning techniques. This is far beyond heuristics or static models; our agent continuously learns from your unique workload patterns and adapts in real time. It understands changes in your data platform and uses that knowledge to take smarter, more effective optimization actions. The result? Even greater savings without ever compromising performance SLAs or user experience.
Working Together: The Human-AI Partnership
A key enhancement to our AI agent ensures it seamlessly integrates with your team’s actions, whether they’re manual changes or automated processes. Tweaked a setting manually or had a script or pipeline do it for you? Keebo recognizes it as your new baseline and optimizes from there. This guarantees a true partnership, where the Keebo AI agent adapts to the way your engineering and data teams work, ensuring seamless integration and uninterrupted productivity.
Seamless Ecosystem Integration
With our new public API for warehouse management, you can now embed Keebo’s power directly into your CI/CD processes, data pipelines, and application workflows. This means you can now automate and orchestrate intelligent optimization right from the tools you use every day, making your data platform smarter and more cohesive than ever.
Intelligent Routing: Unlocking Enterprise Agility
Our latest updates bring breakthroughs in flexibility and control, delivering enterprise-grade capabilities to every Snowflake account.
Enterprise-Tier Scaling on Standard Licenses
A powerful new capability allows you to define routing conditions that effectively deliver multi-cluster warehouse scaling behavior without needing to upgrade your Snowflake license. This means you can achieve the performance and auto-scaling benefits of Snowflake’s Enterprise-tier features on a Standard account, dramatically increasing throughput without a costly platform upgrade. Customers are already using these features to drastically lower their Snowflake spend for specific workloads.
Improved Routing Flexibility and Precision
We’ve expanded support for complex, multi-statement queries and introduced new real-time warehouse attributes. This allows you to define even more sophisticated conditions that use the most current information about your Snowflake environment. The result is smarter, more precise query placement that matches your exact performance and cost requirements, giving you more control over where and how your queries run.
Programmatic Routing Control
Our new public API for query routing now allows you to manage policies programmatically, complementing our intuitive UI with a new level of flexibility. This enables you to embed sophisticated routing directly into your existing data operations toolkit, providing full, granular control and centralized policy management that extends far beyond manual configurations.
Deep Insights: From Cost Tracking to Business Accountability
We’ve evolved Keebo Workload Intelligence from simple monitoring to true financial governance and business intelligence.
Precise Cost Attribution & Performance Analytics
We’ve introduced powerful new capabilities for precise workload analytics and cost attribution. You can now define custom workloads based on users, teams, query tags, warehouses, and roles. The system then produces a comprehensive set of insights for each workload – covering everything from performance and usage to costs. This new level of visibility provides the clear, auditable data you need to implement internal cross-charging and foster company-wide accountability for your cloud data platform.
Complete Cost Control & Predictability
Our new Snowflake resource monitor for Workload Intelligence gives you a hard ceiling on credit usage. This ensures you get the deep insights you need with absolute predictability and control over your investment in Keebo, eliminating any worry about unexpected spend.
Master Your Data Platform with Confidence
These latest updates across the entire Keebo platform – Keebo Warehouse Optimization (KWO), Keebo Smart Query Routing (KQR), and Keebo Workload Intelligence (KWI)—are designed for one purpose: to transform how you interact with Snowflake from manual management to strategic mastery. These enhancements deliver smarter automation, finer control, and clearer visibility.
This isn’t just about cost savings, it’s about achieving ultimate productivity, unwavering control, and seamless governance. It’s about having the confidence to let your data ecosystem grow without anxiety.
Case Study: How a Global Retail Brand Reduced Snowflake Costs by 42% Using Keebo
The Challenge
A leading global retail enterprise was struggling with rapidly escalating Snowflake costs as their analytics workloads scaled across multiple teams and geographies. Manual performance tuning consumed engineering hours, and visibility into workload-level spend was fragmented. They needed a solution that could automate optimization while maintaining strict performance SLAs.
The Keebo Solution
By deploying Keebo Warehouse Optimization (KWO) and Keebo Smart Query Routing (KQR), the company enabled autonomous AI-driven performance tuning across all production workloads. Keebo’s Workload Intelligence (KWI) provided granular cost attribution by department and project, helping teams identify inefficient query patterns and set budget accountability.
The Results
- 42% reduction in overall Snowflake spend within the first 60 days
- 35% improvement in query performance, with zero SLA breaches
- Full visibility into workload-level usage and costs across 12 departments
- Seamless integration with existing CI/CD workflows through Keebo’s public APIs
The Takeaway
This enterprise transitioned from reactive cost management to proactive data platform mastery. With Keebo, they gained not just savings—but sustainable optimization, transparency, and confidence to scale their Snowflake environment intelligently.
