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.

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 ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. 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 ...

For years, production operations teams have treated alert fatigue as a quality-of-life problem: something that makes on-call rotations miserable but isn't considered a direct contributor to outages. That framing doesn't capture how these systems fail, and we now have data to show why. More importantly, it's now clear alert fatigue is a symptom of a deeper issue: production systems have outgrown the current operational approaches ...
