Warehouses sized for the work.

Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, ClickHouse and the open lakehouse stack. Sized, modelled and priced for the scale you're at — and the scale you're going to.

§ 01The problem

The problem we solve

Most warehouse decisions are made early, casually, and become very expensive to revisit. Wrong warehouse, wrong modelling, wrong access patterns — and the bill grows with the data. We design warehouses around your actual query patterns, with the cost discipline most teams only develop after their first six-figure surprise.

§ 02Capabilities

What we ship

  • 01Warehouse selection: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, ClickHouse, Postgres
  • 02Lakehouse on object storage with Iceberg or Delta
  • 03Dimensional modelling with star and snowflake schemas
  • 04Partitioning, clustering and materialization strategies
  • 05Access control and per-team data marts
  • 06Cost monitoring with per-query attribution
  • 07Migration between warehouses without downtime
  • 08Query optimization on existing warehouses
  • 09Federated query across warehouses where it fits
§ 03Deliverables

What you receive

  • Production warehouse with documented modelling and access patterns
  • Cost monitoring with per-team attribution
  • Migration runbook for moving between warehouses
  • Optimization report — frequently with material cost savings
§ 04Stack

Stack we reach for

Snowflake · BigQuery · Redshift
ClickHouse · DuckDB
Iceberg · Delta · Hudi
Postgres · Citus
Trino · StarRocks
dbt · SQLMesh
§ 05Ideal for

Ideal for

  • Companies whose warehouse bill is becoming material
  • Teams outgrowing Postgres analytics queries
  • Data teams considering Snowflake → BigQuery migration (or vice versa)
  • Organizations adopting an open lakehouse alongside cloud warehouses
§ 06Process

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Query audit

    Understand the real workload — query patterns, latency requirements, growth trajectory.

  2. 02

    Design

    Warehouse choice, modelling, partitioning, access patterns — written down with trade-offs.

  3. 03

    Implementation or migration

    Build new or migrate existing. Cutover with parallel running until confidence is built.

  4. 04

    Optimize & monitor

    Cost dashboards, query optimization passes, on-call handoff.

§ 07Engagement

How to engage

01

Warehouse Audit

1 — 2 weeks

Cost and performance audit with prioritized recommendations.

02

Warehouse Build

6 — 12 weeks

Greenfield warehouse with modelling, access and cost discipline.

03

Warehouse Migration

8 — 16 weeks

Move from one warehouse to another with parallel running and documented cutover.

§ 08Common questions

Frequently asked.

01Snowflake or BigQuery?

Both excellent. BigQuery for Google-native stacks and ad-hoc analytics. Snowflake for everything else, especially multi-cloud. ClickHouse where latency dominates cost. We'll model the costs on your real workload before recommending.

02Do we need a lakehouse?

If you have meaningful storage costs, mixed structured / unstructured data, or want vendor independence — yes. For most companies, a managed warehouse is the right answer for years.
