“We achieved 1,000 QPS concurrencies with p95 SLAs of < 2s on near real-time data & complex queries. Other industry leaders couldn’t meet this even at a far higher TCO.”

Why Do Snowflake Cost Optimizations Hit a Ceiling?

The cost optimizations rely on step sizing and scaling on VM-centric, monolithic architecture that creates bottleneck for the highly concurrent & unpredictable SQL+AI workloads of today

Granularity

Scales up/down at cluster-level with step-jumps

Concurrency

Parallel clusters that add up the costs while needing to pay for Enterprise Edition

Central Coordinator

Single point of failure

Data Access

ETL latency and Formatting overhead. Storage adds up to the bill.

Data Movement

Egress and Network costs for un/loading data

Billing Model

Credit Rate * Time; Uptime and idle time are charged

How e6data Pushes Beyond These Limits

The cost optimizations rely on truly distributed, Kubernetes-native architecture with granular sizing and scaling (~vCPU level), purpose-built for concurrent & unpredictable SQL+AI workloads of today

Granularity

Scales up/down at cluster-level with step-jumps

Concurrency

Designed for independently scaling micro-services

Central Coordinator

No single point of failure

Data Access

Compatible to all formats & catalogs

Data Movement

Location-aware execution cuts down data movement and egress costs

How It Works

How it was
How it was

Most datasets were GB to 10 TB. Only big consumer internet firms reached PB scale.

How it is / will be

10 TB – 1 PB is normal. Exabyte data and large vector stores are routine.

How it was

People hand-built ETL, set up clusters, and wrote queries.

How it is / will be

AI agents create pipelines, launch databases, and fire tuned queries on demand.

How it was

Base traffic stayed below 1 query per second; peaks were only 50 % higher.

How it is / will be

Steady 1 000 QPS with elastic bursts 10 × higher for AI training and inference.

How it was

Queries took tens of seconds to minutes, and dashboards read from day-old extracts.

How it is / will be

Answers come in under a second on live data only seconds behind source.

How it was

Human analysts wrote SQL; dashboards and reports issued most queries

How it is / will be

AI agents and autonomous apps launch most queries; humans focus on oversight

Single compute engine handling all SQL and AI workloads

Snowflake’s all-in-one engine makes it simple to ingest, transform, and query data from a single platform. Yet when workloads surge, users demand faster turnaround times, stricter SLAs, higher concurrency, and lower costs—needs a single cluster can’t always meet without extra operational overhead.

e6data’s distributed k8s-native engine — built on atomic architecture

Keep what you love about Snowflake—add e6data’s engine into bottleneck workloads. Each workload (ingest, ETL, query, AI) —scale instantly, save $1.5M-10M (≤60 % TCO), run 10× more queries, get real-time streaming, extend catalog & governance securely to multi-cloud—no data movement or SQL rewrites.

Cut Your Costs Across Query, ETL, and Ingest

Atomic Scaling

No idle costs. Ever

In-Place Execution

Good-bye to latency or storage overhead

Converged Compute

One engine for SQL+AI.

Policy-Informed Guardrails

Block bad jobs early

Cut Down Infra-Costs

No sync or format conversions. Fewer pipelines

No ETL Jobs

Cut duplicate streaming or transform

ACID & Exactly-Once Delivery

Avoid corrective compute

No Storage & Indexing

Write once. Query directly on lakehouse

No Always-on Streaming

Compute spins only when needed

Single Copy of data

Parallel computing doesn't need parallel copies

Minimal Orchestration

Zero schedulers or retries

Uniform Governance

Avoid costly penalties

Near-Zero Egress Fees

No cross-region or cross-cloud data movement

Lower Storage & Replication Overhead

No data duplication

Eliminate Wasted Compute

Location-aware compute requires minimal data transfers

The Use-Case Basis Impact on Your Data Spend

Batch ETL & Data Transformations

Run heavy transforms directly on your lake—no extra clusters, no staging copies, no idle compute.

Real-Time Ingest & Streaming Data

Ingest events once and query them instantly. No stream processors, no duplicate pipelines.

High-Concurrency SQL Workloads

Handle sudden query spikes by scaling only what’s needed, without paying for peak capacity 24×7

Observability Logs

Search and analyze logs without data movement or infrastructure sprawl.

Global & Multi-Region Analytics

Analyze data where it lives and avoid costly replication and cloud egress fees.

Ad-hoc Analytics

Run large one-off queries without increasing your regular cloud costs.

AI / ML Ready

Use fresh data directly from the lake for models and analysis without building separate serving layers.

Security Analytics

Run large one-off queries without increasing your regular cloud costs.

Vector Search

Search embeddings without without new infrastructure or data copies.

FAQs

How does e6data reduce Snowflake compute costs without slowing queries?
e6data is powered by the industry’s only atomic architecture. Rather than scaling in step jumps (L x 1 -> L x 2), e6data scales atomically, by as little as 1 vCPU. In production with widely varying loads, this translates to > 60% TCO savings.
Do I have to move out of Snowflake?
No, we fit right into your existing data architecture across cloud, on-prem, catalog, governance, table formats, BI tools, and more.
Does e6data speed up Iceberg on Snowflake?
Yes, depending on your workload, you can see anywhere up to 10x faster speeds through our native and advanced Iceberg support.
Snowflake supports Iceberg. But how do you get data there in real time?
Our real-time streaming ingest streams Kafka or SDK data straight into Iceberg—no Flink. Landing within 60 seconds and auto-registering each snapshot for instant querying.
How long does it take to deploy e6data alongside Snowflake?
Sign up the form and get your instance started. You can deploy it to any cloud, region, deployment model, without copying or migrating any data from Snowflake.
