Unravel Data unveiled Arvix AI, an agentic engine that autonomously tunes and optimizes across Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery.
Built upon a decade of data platform telemetry, Arvix AI now powers every optimization action within Unravel Data, continuously analyzing workloads, rewriting code, right-sizing infrastructure, eliminating storage waste, and validating every change before applying it. Customers see an average 40% reduction in data platform spend and 4x faster performance.
"Unravel has spent the last decade building the most complete view of how data platforms actually run – across Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery. We've watched billions of jobs, every failure pattern, every cost spiral,” said Kunal Agarwal, co-founder and CEO of Unravel Data. “Now, we’ve turned all that telemetry into action with Arvix AI. It's the engine inside Unravel that closes the loop between knowing what's broken and actually fixing it.”
At the core of Arvix AI is the Context Graph, an intelligence layer that continuously maps an organization’s full data environment across six dimensions: compute, workload, data, code, platform, and business. Unlike tools that operate on SQL text alone, Arvix AI understands which cluster a query runs on, what downstream pipelines depend on it, which team owns it, what the SLA is, and how platform-specific configuration affects execution. This persistent, cross-dimensional awareness is what allows Arvix AI to make optimizations that do not break anything downstream, and what generic LLMs are fundamentally lacking.
Additional differentiators include:
- Full-stack optimization. Arvix AI covers workload optimization, code rewriting, infrastructure tuning, and storage management within a single platform. Users get a full picture across compute, workload, data, code, platform, and business, not a partial view stitched together from multiple tools.
- Purpose-built for data platforms, not bolted on. Arvix AI operates at the query, pipeline, cluster, and data levels across cost and performance simultaneously. Most tools stop at the warehouse. The depth of optimization, across code, configuration, infrastructure, and storage, is what separates a purpose-built platform from a feature bolted onto a monitoring or FinOps tool.
- Beyond observability to actionability. Fewer than 10% of platform-native recommendations (e.g., Databricks Advisor, Snowflake Recommendations, and BigQuery Recommender) ever get implemented. They all surface opportunities, but busy teams have no time to act on them. Arvix AI automates the other 90%.
- Validation before deployment, with a built-in safety net. Arvix AI tests every change against real workload behavior before applying it, then monitors the change after deployment and automatically reverts if anything degrades. That safety net is what makes autonomous optimization possible in production environments.
“We have merged the principles of data observability, FinOps, and infrastructure monitoring to create what we’re calling autonomous data platform optimization,” added Agarwal. “Moving beyond recommendations to autonomous action is what the CFOs who want costs down and the engineers who need performance up have been waiting for.”

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...
