FAQ

Let's get a few things straight.
What is Alvin?
keyboard_arrow_down

Alvin is a query optimizer built in pure, high performance Rust that leverages Apache DataFusion to parse and transpile SQL. The optimizer intercepts and optimizes your queries before they reach BigQuery. We also have a UI that provides comprehensive cost reporting, so you can monitor spend from different query sources and track the savings made by Alvin.

Who are the team behind Alvin?

Our team consists of seasoned experts in GCP, BigQuery, billing, and SQL optimization. We're passionate about building technology solutions that automate BigQuery optimization.

How much does it cost?
keyboard_arrow_down

We only charge a percentage of savings, guaranteeing a positive ROI. There is no charge for the POC, no onboarding costs, no minimum commitments, and seamless integrations.

How long does it take to set up?
keyboard_arrow_down

We only ask for 15 minutes of engineering time to get Alvin set up for each query source you integrate. In most cases it is just a case of setting the environment variable to point to Alvin's query optimizer.

Are there any performance tradeoffs?
keyboard_arrow_down

No. On average Alvin’s optimizer processes queries in 1.2 milliseconds. In fact, we generally see performance improvements from the optimizations.

Is it secure?
