Snowflake Optimizer Onboarding

Welcome! Espresso AI uses ML to optimize Snowflake workloads using metadata only (no data access, storage, or logging).

How it works

1. Espresso AI trains custom models on your Snowflake metadata. Training takes about 15 minutes to 48 hours depending on account size.

2. After training, you receive a savings estimate.

3. You get dashboard access to enable optimization across the account or per-warehouse.

Create a Snowflake user and role

Run the following in Snowflake to set up access for Espresso AI.

CREATE USER espresso_ai_user PASSWORD = '<credentials>'
  TYPE=LEGACY_SERVICE
  MUST_CHANGE_PASSWORD = TRUE;

CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS ESPRESSO_AI_USER
  COMMENT = 'Used by Espresso AI';

GRANT ROLE ESPRESSO_AI_USER TO USER ESPRESSO_AI_USER;

-- Allow Espresso AI to query Snowflake metadata
GRANT IMPORTED PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE SNOWFLAKE
  TO ROLE ESPRESSO_AI_USER;

-- Allow Espresso AI to securely export data
ALTER USER ESPRESSO_AI_USER
  SET PREVENT_UNLOAD_TO_INLINE_URL = false;

-- Allow Espresso AI to monitor warehouses
GRANT MONITOR USAGE ON ACCOUNT
  TO ROLE ESPRESSO_AI_USER;

-- Give Espresso AI the ability to modify warehouses
GRANT MANAGE WAREHOUSES ON ACCOUNT
  TO ROLE ESPRESSO_AI_USER;

-- Set up a warehouse for Espresso AI queries to run on
CREATE WAREHOUSE IF NOT EXISTS
  ESPRESSO_AI_WH WAREHOUSE_SIZE=XSMALL
  AUTO_SUSPEND=60 INITIALLY_SUSPENDED=TRUE
  COMMENT = 'Used by Espresso AI';

GRANT MONITOR, OPERATE, USAGE, MODIFY
  ON WAREHOUSE ESPRESSO_AI_WH
  TO ROLE ESPRESSO_AI_USER;
