As a Snowflake Native App, FrostWatch runs entirely inside your account. Your data never leaves Snowflake security boundaries.

Intelligence

Every table, classified.

FrostWatch categorizes your tables based on access patterns and freshness, applying the optimal storage strategy for each.

Active

Frequently queried tables that stay in high-performance storage.

Cool

Tables not queried in 30 days. Candidates for standard compression.

Cold

Tables not queried in 90 days. Moved to low-cost archive storage.

Zombie

Tables with no queries ever or orphaned by deleted pipelines.

Your data isn't getting any younger.

Idle tables and zombie data are costing you more every single day. Stop technical debt in its tracks and reclaim your Snowflake budget with autonomous optimization.
