Performance at Scale: A Test Case for Snowflake Interactive Analytics on ThoughtSpot

Interactive analytics has a simple promise: answers should show up when people need them, not after the moment has passed.

SpotCache: Scale AI-ready data without cloud-spend surprises

AI is changing how work gets done. But for many data leaders, it’s also creating a new challenge: managing the cloud bill. As more people (and more AI agents) query data, cloud data warehouse (CDW) spend can spike fast. Costs become harder to predict, and teams end up making tradeoffs—scaling AI insights or staying within budget. That tension creates a real bottleneck on the path to becoming AI-ready.

Leveraging ThoughtSpot for Managing Complex Joins

Stop manually wrangling data and start automating your governance. In this technical deep-dive, we explore how to leverage ThoughtSpot Modeling Language (TML) to manage complex joins and enforce strict business rules at the architectural level. Traditional UI joins are great, but sometimes you need to ensure end-users only interact with a specific subset of data—like active subscribers—without giving them the ability to toggle filters. By moving your logic into TML, you create a "Join with Filters" that hardcodes business rules directly into your data model.

How Column Sets and Query Sets Simplify Analytics

When you’re building analytics for users, you quickly realize something: not every definition belongs on the Model. A lot of business logic sits in an awkward middle ground, too context-specific to hardcode into the Model but too important to leave scattered across one-off formulas. And in most tools, if the logic doesn’t live on the Model, every team ends up rebuilding the same thing over and over again. That’s where Query Sets and Column Sets in ThoughtSpot come in.
