Automated ETL Performance Monitoring & Cost Estimator
Seed: ETLJobs table with RunTime, DataVolume, ResourceType; Cost model: CostPerHour*RunTime + StorageCost*DataVolumeADVERTISEMENT - IN-ARTICLE
Implementation Guide
This monitoring workbook tracks ETL job runtimes, resource consumption, and storage growth to estimate operational costs and spot inefficiencies. It calculates cost per run, cost per GB processed, and forecasts monthly pipeline spend. Visualizations highlight jobs with escalating runtimes or data bloat, and a KPI table ranks jobs by cost and failure rates for prioritization. Include suggested remediation actions (optimize queries, incremental loads, compression) and an ROI estimator for optimization investments. Use this to inform platform cost controls and to justify engineering work to reduce recurring processing costs.
