Data Platform¶
The Data Platform section tracks cost, usage, ownership, allocation, and optimization across data compute and storage.
Pages¶
- Overview
- Warehouses & Clusters
- Pipelines & Jobs
- Queries
- Tables & Datasets
- Optimization
Use the Data Platform pages¶
- Open Data Platform > Overview and confirm that a platform source is connected.
- Review KPI cards and coverage notices.
- Open the entity page that matches the investigation.
- Filter the table and review Name, Type, Platform, Provider, Cost, Change, Owner, Allocation, Recommendation, and Action.
- Open Optimization to review supported recommendations.
Use Warehouses & Clusters for compute assets and idle time; Pipelines & Jobs for execution activity and ownership; Queries for expensive, frequent, inefficient, or high-scan patterns; and Tables & Datasets for storage, scan, growth, and table-level cost drivers.
Empty and partial states¶
The UI distinguishes:
- No data platforms connected
- Ingest pending
- No data for this selection
- Access restricted
- Data Platform data is temporarily unavailable
- Partial coverage
Use Connect Data Platform when offered. If ingestion is pending, wait for the source to finish before treating an empty table as a problem.
Best practices¶
- Assign owners to expensive warehouses, pipelines, queries, and datasets.
- Compare cost change with workload activity.
- Review optimization actions with the data-platform owner.
