Alvin + Finout

BigQuery FinOps on Autopilot: Finout partners with Alvin to solve one of the fastest-growing line items in modern data stacks: BigQuery spend. By bringing Alvin’s automated query optimization into the Finout MegaBill, customers get full visibility into their BigQuery cost — and an automated way to reduce it. This collaboration empowers data and FinOps teams to cut BigQuery bills, often by 50% or more, without manual rewrites or engineering overhead.

PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW

Why Alvin?

BigQuery is powerful but its pricing model is complex — on-demand vs. capacity, slot waste, fragile caching, and unpredictable autoscaler behavior. Alvin is a Google Cloud BigQuery Partner that automates the full optimization layer.

01

Automated Query Optimization

Alvin’s Rust-based optimizer (built on Apache DataFusion) intercepts and rewrites queries before they reach BigQuery in ~1.2 milliseconds, with no performance penalty.
02

Dynamic Pricing Model Routing

Every query is automatically routed to the most cost-effective billing model — on-demand for compute-heavy queries, capacity for scan-heavy ones — ending the all-or-nothing pricing decision.
03

Maximized Cache Hits

Alvin rewrites queries in real time to deliver 5x–10x more cache hits than typical BigQuery workloads. More cache hits means near-instant results at zero cost.
04

Automated Partition Pruning

Alvin rewrites queries to fix SQL patterns that bypass partition pruning. BigQuery scans only the required partitions, slashing data scan volumes by up to 99%.
05

Enterprise-Grade by Design

SOC 2 Type II attested, metadata-only access, single-tenant deployments, with self-host options for the data plane.

BigQuery Cost Visibility in the MegaBill

Bring Alvin's cost reporting into Finout's unified view, so BigQuery lives alongside AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and SaaS in a single source of truth.

In Dev & CI Per Team or Product

Allocation Meets Automated Optimization

Use Finout’s Virtual Tags and showback to attribute BigQuery cost to teams, products, or customers — then let Alvin automatically reduce that cost without engineering intervention.
Closed Loop With No Upfront Cost

Risk-Free Savings Model

Alvin charges only a percentage of realized savings. No onboarding cost, no minimums, free POC — customers keep whatever Alvin saves, guaranteeing positive ROI.
