Unravel Data announced the launch of its Health Check, an AI-driven cost and performance optimization Snowflake Native App available on Snowflake Marketplace.
Joint customers can now complement Snowflake’s built-in cost and performance optimization capabilities with Health Check to get a full analysis on the health of their data ecosystem, with recommendations for production workloads.
Through this collaboration, Unravel Data and Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company will help joint customers inform business decisions and drive innovation by automatically analyzing Snowflake workloads to provide concrete, actionable recommendations to boost performance. As a Snowflake Native App, customers can install and run the Unravel Health Check directly in their Snowflake account without the need for data movement, accelerating time to value and reducing data silos.
"Enterprises face a significant execution gap in data platform optimization," said Kunal Agarwal, CEO at Unravel Data. "Our free Snowflake Native App bridges this gap by not only identifying inefficiencies, but also provides concrete actions that are easy to implement."
Unravel Health Check is capable of analyzing up to 30 days of Snowflake usage to deliver optimization recommendations across the following workloads:
- Warehouse usage — Rightsizing and consolidation opportunities to reduce costs
- SQL workload — Query enhancements to address inefficiencies in filters, joins, and projections
- Storage usage — Identification of "cold" tables and suboptimal feature usage
Using the combined capabilities of the Snowflake Native App Framework and Snowpark Container Services, Unravel Health Check offers sophisticated analysis while data remains within the customer's Snowflake environment.
"What sets Unravel apart is our focus on actionability," said Shivnath Babu, CTO at Unravel Data. "We deliver specific, implementable guidance that addresses the root causes of inefficiency."
Users can install the Unravel Health Check directly from Snowflake Marketplace and see results within minutes, with no security or privacy concerns as data never has to leave their environment. Unravel Health Check is available now on the Snowflake Marketplace at no cost.
Snowflake Marketplace helps companies expand what’s possible with data and AI through third-party data, apps and AI products.

Most organizations approach OpenTelemetry as a collection of individual tools they need to assemble from scratch. This view misses the bigger picture. OpenTelemetry is a complete telemetry framework with composable components that address specific problems at different stages of organizational maturity. You start with what you need today and adopt additional pieces as your observability practices evolve ...
One of the earliest lessons I learned from architecting throughput-heavy services is that simplicity wins repeatedly: fewer moving parts, loosely coupled execution (fewer synchronous calls), and precise timing metering. You want data and decisions to travel the shortest possible path. The goal is to build a system where every strategy and each line of code (contention is the key metric) complements the decision trees ...
As discussions around AI "autonomous coworkers" accelerate, many industry projections assume that agents will soon operate alongside human staff in making decisions, taking actions, and managing tasks with minimal oversight. But a growing number of critics (including some of the developers building these systems) argue that the industry still has a long way to go to be able to treat AI agents like fully trusted teammates ...
Enterprise AI has entered a transformational phase where, according to Digitate's recently released survey, Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise IT, companies are moving beyond traditional automation toward Agentic AI systems designed to reason, adapt, and collaborate alongside human teams ...
The numbers back this urgency up. A recent Zapier survey shows that 92% of enterprises now treat AI as a top priority. Leaders want it, and teams are clamoring for it. But if you look closer at the operations of these companies, you see a different picture. The rollout is slow. The results are often delayed. There's a disconnect between what leaders want and what their technical infrastructure can handle ...
Kyndryl's 2025 Readiness Report revealed that 61% of global business and technology leaders report increasing pressure from boards and regulators to prove AI's ROI.

If you work with AI, you know this story. A model performs during testing, looks great in early reviews, works perfectly in production and then slowly loses relevance after operating for a while. Everything on the surface looks perfect — pipelines are running, predictions or recommendations are error-free, data quality checks show green; yet outcomes don't meet the ground reality. This pattern often repeats across enterprise AI programs. Take for example, a mid-sized retail banking and wealth-management firm with heavy investments in AI-powered risk analytics, fraud detection and personalized credit-decisioning systems. The model worked well for a while, but transactions increased, so did false positives by 18% ...
Basic uptime is no longer the gold standard. By 2026, network monitoring must do more than report status, it must explain performance in a hybrid-first world. Networks are no longer just static support systems; they are agile, distributed architectures that sit at the very heart of the customer experience and the business outcomes ... The following five trends represent the new standard for network health, providing a blueprint for teams to move from reactive troubleshooting to a proactive, integrated future ...
