What it does

Turns one-off spike alerts into a durable cost-attribution record. Weekly, it pulls per-service ingestion totals from Axiom, writes them to a Snowflake history table, compares against last week to find the biggest cost movers, and reports the trend to leadership while filing tickets for services that regressed materially.

When to use it

Use it when you need a defensible, longitudinal view of which services drive Axiom spend over time, for FinOps reviews or capacity planning, not just instantaneous spike firefighting.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule runs at the start of each reporting week.
  2. 2Query Axiom for per-service ingested volume across the prior week.
  3. 3Write the per-service totals into a Snowflake history table for trend retention.
  4. 4A logic step diffs this week against the prior week and ranks the largest cost increases.
  5. 5For services regressing beyond the threshold, open Linear tuning tickets.
  6. 6Email leadership a digest of top movers, totals, and ticket links via Gmail.
