Cross-warehouse replication schema mismatch reconciler

Compares the column shape of mirrored tables between BigQuery and Snowflake and, when a replicated table has drifted out of sync between the two, opens an Asana task for the data…

What it does

When the same logical table is replicated across two warehouses, the copies can silently diverge after one side gets a migration the other didn't. This workflow reads the column definitions of each mirrored pair in BigQuery and Snowflake, normalizes the type names across the two dialects, and reports tables where the shapes no longer match. Each divergence becomes an Asana task assigned to the replication owner.

When to use it

Use it when you run a dual-warehouse setup (for example BigQuery for analytics, Snowflake for the product) and need the mirrors kept structurally identical so cross-warehouse joins and failover stay trustworthy.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the reconciliation.
  2. 2Read column definitions for the mapped tables from BigQuery.
  3. 3Read the matching tables' column definitions from Snowflake.
  4. 4Normalize dialect type names and diff each pair to find missing, extra, or retyped columns.
  5. 5If every pair matches, finish with no action.
  6. 6Create an Asana task per divergent table listing the field-level mismatches.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect BigQueryDatasets, queries, schemas.
  2. 2
    Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
  3. 3
    Connect AsanaTasks, projects, milestones — everywhere.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
