Data Platform Operations. Pipelines healthy. Costs tracked.
Day-two operations for the data platform. We keep pipelines running, models fresh, and warehouse spend under control. Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, and Fabric.
What is included.
-
Pipeline monitoring
Freshness, volume, and lineage alerts wired into your existing on-call. Downstream impact identified before the dashboard call.
-
Warehouse cost governance
Query cost tracking, warehouse sizing reviews, and a quarterly optimization cycle. Spend reported in dollars, not credits.
-
Data quality
Tests run on a schedule. Issues triaged, owners notified, and fixes shipped on a cadence you set.
-
Schema evolution support
Upstream changes handled before pipelines break. Data contracts where we can enforce them, clear communication everywhere else.
-
Model refresh and dbt ops
dbt runs, testing, and deployment. Slow models identified and refactored. Unused models retired.
-
DR and restore testing
Scheduled restore drills. Results documented. Because the day you need to restore is not the day to find out.

Questions we get.
- What platforms do you support?
- Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Fabric, BigQuery. Plus orchestration, ingestion, and BI on top. We focus on stacks we can staff redundantly across time zones.
- Can you operate a platform you did not build?
- Yes. We run a 2-week onboarding audit first. The audit output becomes the runbook baseline.
- How do you handle on-call?
- Rotation staffed across time zones. Escalation ladder documented. Handoff call if you have your own on-call team.
- Do you help with data platform modernization on the side?
- Yes. Upgrades and platform moves can run inside the managed arrangement or as a separate project engagement.
- How do you protect against cost runaways?
- Query cost tracking, warehouse auto-suspend, budget alerts, and a monthly variance report. We flag the patterns before finance does.
