BigQuery Scheduled-Query Budget Breach Alert with Coda Ledger
Monitors the cost of BigQuery scheduled (recurring) queries against per-team monthly budgets, logs each run to a Coda budget ledger.

What it does
Tracks only the automated scheduled queries in BigQuery, attributes their running cost to the owning team label, accumulates month-to-date spend in a Coda ledger, and escalates via PagerDuty the moment a team crosses its monthly budget.
When to use it
When runaway recurring queries (not ad-hoc ones) are the real budget killer and you need a hard stop signal, not just a friendly nudge. Ideal for teams with strict per-quarter data budgets.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger runs hourly.
- 2A BigQuery action reads `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` filtered to scheduled-query jobs in the last hour, grouped by team label.
- 3A Coda action upserts each team's month-to-date cost into a budget tracking table.
- 4A logic step compares month-to-date spend to each team's stored budget.
- 5If a team exceeds 100% of budget, a PagerDuty action opens an incident assigned to the team owner.
- 6A Coda action stamps the breach event and timestamp into the ledger for the audit trail.
