DATA OPS
Weekly BigQuery Cost Trend Sheet and Exec Digest
Compiles week-over-week BigQuery scheduled-query cost by owner and dataset into a Google Sheet with trend columns.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerWeekly Monday schedule
- ActionQuery last two weeks of cost by owner and datasetBigQuery
- LogicCompute week-over-week deltas and rank top movers
- ActionWrite breakdown and deltas to rolling Google SheetGoogle Drive
- OutputEmail top-movers digest with sheet linksGmail
What it does
Every Monday it computes last week's scheduled-query cost per owner and per destination dataset, compares against the prior week, and writes the full table plus week-over-week delta columns into a rolling Google Sheet. It then sends an email digest that calls out the biggest cost increases and the queries driving them, giving leadership a trend view rather than a single-day snapshot.
When to use it
Use this for a weekly FinOps review where you need both the underlying numbers in a shareable sheet and a short narrative of what changed. Good for steering meetings where exact deltas, not just totals, drive the conversation.
How it works
- 1A weekly Monday schedule fires.
- 2Query `INFORMATION_SCHEMA.JOBS` for the last two weeks, grouping cost by owner and dataset.
- 3Compute week-over-week deltas and rank the top cost movers.
- 4Write the full breakdown and delta columns to a rolling Google Sheet tab.
- 5Email a top-movers digest with links into the sheet.
