The Hidden AI Agent Data Cost on Your Stack

Wesley Allan
May 25, 2026
When a human runs a query, there’s an instinct. You see the warehouse size, you estimate the scan, and you hit cancel if something looks wrong. The Snowflake cost increase usually starts long before anyone notices – and with agentic workloads, it moves faste...

Snowflake Data Types: Practical Cheat Sheet, Aliases, and VARIANT Examples

Wesley Allan
May 03, 2026
Most Snowflake data type guides are dictionaries. They list the types and describe the syntax, but stop there. That is fine for orientation. It does not help an engineer who is staring at a slow query and wondering whether the VARCHAR/STRING mix in the DDL is causing it...
