LAST_ALTERED freshness
Per-table thresholds; never SELECT rows from marts.
Technology · Warehouse
Freshness SLAs on Snowflake marts — same calm Watchdog queue as BigQuery + dbt.
The problem
Teams on Snowflake want operable freshness without adopting a noisy enterprise suite or reading table rows.
The outcome
VectorData watches INFORMATION_SCHEMA.LAST_ALTERED via the SQL API. Pair with dbt PR Data CI and BigQuery freshness for true multi-warehouse depth.
