Tried Cortex Code to debug a query spike — actually helped
Saw a big spike in query throughput (Apr 25–26) in Snowsight, so instead of digging manually, I asked Cortex Code:
>
Snowflake Cortex Code effectively identified a 3k queries/hour spike on April 25–26 by analyzing query history, identifying heavy task activity and infrastructure changes. The tool accelerated root-cause analysis by providing immediate breakdowns of SYSTEM tasks and user warehouse activity without manual query writing.
The experience highlighted the tool’s value for proactive debugging, though it was noted as reactive without built-in cost insights or automated guardrails.
