Your data warehouse is the heart of your business intelligence. Platforms like Snowflake have revolutionized how companies store and query massive datasets, creating a central source of truth for everything from sales figures to user engagement logs. But here's the challenge: while the data is centralized, the insights are often latent, trapped behind manual queries and periodic reports.
What if you could bridge the gap between your powerful data warehouse and your team's daily operations? What if every critical metric locked in Snowflake could become a live, automated, and actionable service?
This is where the concept of "KPIs as Code" comes to life. By connecting Snowflake to a KPI automation platform like KPIs.do, you can transform your static data into a dynamic engine for continuous performance improvement.
Snowflake is the foundation of modern data strategy for a reason. It's incredibly powerful, scalable, and provides a unified view of your business. Teams across your organization rely on it for everything from high-level financial reporting to granular product analytics.
However, a gap often exists between data storage and data action. The process of extracting value typically looks like this:
This "agility gap" means you're always looking in the rearview mirror. You react to trends long after they've started, missing crucial opportunities to intervene in real-time.
KPIs.do fundamentally changes this dynamic by introducing KPIs as Code. Instead of treating your business metrics as the output of a manual process, you define them as version-controlled, automated services.
Here’s how it works: You define the logic for your Key Performance Indicators—the queries, calculations, and targets—in simple configuration files. Our agentic platform then takes over, turning this logic into an automated service that:
This transforms your metrics from static numbers on a dashboard into living, breathing services that actively monitor the health of your business.
Connecting your Snowflake data warehouse to KPIs.do is a simple, secure process designed to deliver immediate value. Your data never leaves your warehouse; our platform simply queries it to calculate your metrics.
Here’s a conceptual overview of the workflow:
First, you establish a secure, read-only connection from KPIs.do to your Snowflake instance. We use standard, secure protocols to ensure your data integrity and privacy are always maintained.
Next, you define a KPI. Instead of writing a one-off query, you create a reusable, version-controlled definition. This "KPI as Code" includes:
Once defined, our platform's agentic workflow takes over. It runs your query on Snowflake according to the schedule, fetches the result, and logs it. No more manual queries or forgotten reports.
import { kpis } from 'kpis.do';
// KPIs.do automatically runs your logic and tracks the data point.
// You can also push data directly from your applications.
const result = await kpis.track({
name: 'monthly-sales-growth',
value: 12.5, // The value calculated from Snowflake
dimensions: {
region: 'North America',
}
});
// The result contains the status and any triggered alerts
console.log(result.status); // 'tracked'
console.log(result.alerts); // [{...}] if thresholds were crossed
This is where the magic happens. When a KPI's value crosses a predefined threshold, KPIs.do triggers an immediate action. No more waiting for someone to notice a dip in a chart. You can:
Imagine your SaaS company stores all subscription data in Snowflake. You want to monitor the monthly customer churn rate in real-time.
The Old Way: Once a week, a data analyst runs a complex query to calculate churn. They email a summary to the product and success teams. If churn spikes on a Tuesday, no one knows until the following Monday.
The KPIs.do Way:
The Result: Your entire performance monitoring loop is now an automated service. The moment churn spikes, the right people are notified with the exact data they need to take action. You've moved from reactive reporting to proactive, data-driven management.
Your Snowflake instance is more than just a database—it's a goldmine of performance insights waiting to be automated. By connecting it to KPIs.do, you unlock the "last mile" of your data pipeline, transforming valuable metrics into measurable services that drive real-time business action.
