Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Alvin to automatically cut your Google BigQuery compute spending without changing your daily analytics workflows. Alvin intercepts SQL queries before they reach BigQuery, analyzing execution plans in real time to rewrite code for maximum cache hits and partition pruning. It dynamically routes queries to the cheapest available pricing tiers and automatically adjusts BigQuery slot reservations. You can monitor spending across different query sources through a reporting dashboard, reducing data warehouse costs while keeping query latency under two milliseconds.
