DATA OPS
Daily BigQuery Cost Attribution by Team Label to Slack
Every morning, queries BigQuery's INFORMATION_SCHEMA job history, attributes yesterday's slot/bytes cost to each team via job labels, and posts a ranked cost breakdown to Slack.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerWeekday 8am schedule
- ActionQuery JOBS_BY_PROJECT grouped by team labelBigQuery
- LogicConvert bytes to dollars and rank teams
- LogicFlag teams over daily threshold
- OutputPost cost leaderboard to #data-costsSlack
What it does
Pulls the prior day's query jobs from BigQuery, groups bytes-billed and estimated dollar cost by the `team` label attached to each job, and delivers a ranked digest to a Slack channel so every squad sees what they spent before standup.
When to use it
When your data warehouse bill is a black box and finance keeps asking "who ran that?". Run it as a lightweight daily accountability nudge without standing up a full FinOps dashboard.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires each weekday at 8am.
- 2A BigQuery action queries `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS_BY_PROJECT` for jobs completed yesterday, summing `total_bytes_billed` grouped by the `team` label.
- 3A logic step converts bytes to dollars using your on-demand or flat-rate multiplier and sorts teams descending by spend.
- 4A logic step flags any team whose daily spend exceeds its threshold.
- 5A Slack action posts a formatted leaderboard, highlighting flagged teams, to the #data-costs channel.
