InstaQuery Helps Rewrite Snowflake Queries with AI
At Snowflake Summit 2024, I had the pleasure of stopping by the Kloudgen booth to talk with Yash Gupta , the CEO of Kloudgen , which owns InstaQuery. Our conversation shed light on how they were driving efficiency and performance improvements for their clients.
Introduction to Kloudgen and InstaQuery
Kloudgen has been a pioneer in the data management services industry for over 35 years, serving more than 250 customers. They are focused on cloud transformation and develop software-as-a-service products to assist Snowflake customers in automating tasks related to cost and performance improvement.
"We are the leader in automation when it comes to cost and performance," Yash told me. "We were the first to introduce InstaQuery in the marketplace, and it's been getting a tremendous response at the Snowflake Summit."
Tackling Inefficient Queries
One of the major issues Kloudgen addressed was poorly written queries, which could be both expensive and time-consuming. Yash explained that traditionally, identifying and fixing these queries was a manual and labor-intensive process.
"Some customers are running 500,000 queries a day, even millions," he said. "It's just impossible to manually track all these queries."
InstaQuery automated this entire process, detecting poorly written queries and optimizing them in under a minute. This hands-free approach not only saved time but also provided recommendations to improve the environment where these queries were executed.
Boosting Productivity and Bridging Skill Gaps
The productivity boost from using InstaQuery was significant.
"We have seen at least a 400-500% productivity boost," Yash noted.
The tool’s ability to automatically rewrite queries ensured that even junior programmers could produce high-quality work.

"Think of it as a junior programmer writing a query. InstaQuery rewrites it, and now the junior programmer looks like an expert," Yash explained. This process not only improved efficiency but also served as an educational tool, helping developers understand what was wrong with their original queries and how to fix them.
Getting Started with Kloudgen
For those interested in leveraging Kloudgen’s solutions, you can visit their website or reach out to him on Yash on LinkedIn. They offer customer demos and are soon going to have their applications available as native apps within Snowflake, starting with InstaQuery and followed by the optimizer within the next 30-45 days.
My conversation with Yash Gupta at the Snowflake Summit highlighted Kloudgen's innovative approach to making data work smarter. By automating the optimization of data queries, they are helping businesses save time, reduce costs, and improve performance. For anyone dealing with complex data environments, Kloudgen’s solutions offer a powerful way to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Yash Gupta and his colleague Slim Baltagi gave a fantastic presentation at the Snowflake Summit - along with an insightful demo of how InstaQuery can actually rewrite your queries AND provide explanations that you can learn from.
