The use case: how Figma deploys Snowflake
Figma's engineering team added runtime validators to its ActiveRecord queries that send production query and transaction information into Snowflake, its cloud data warehouse. They analyzed this data to find queries and transactions that consistently touch the same group of tables, which helped pick tables to move into separate databases through vertical partitioning.

These validators sent production query and transaction information (such as caller location and tables involved) into Snowflake, our data warehouse in the cloud. We used this information to look for queries and transactions that consistently referenced the same group of tables.
