Cost Overview
The Cost Overview page gives you a real-time, consolidated view of your BigQuery spend - broken down by project, user, and optimization coverage - so you can understand costs as they happen, not after the bill arrives.
KPI Cards
Four summary cards at the top of the page give you an instant financial pulse:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Savings | Total dollars saved through Yuki optimization |
| Savings Percentage | Percentage of spend saved through Yuki optimization |
| Cost Without Yuki | What you would have spent without optimization |
| Cost With Yuki | What you actually spent |
Cost Over Time Chart
A stacked daily or weekly chart showing where your BigQuery spend went - and when. Use the Break down by selector to switch between two views:
- Project - see which GCP project drove a specific day's spike
- Optimization coverage - see what share of queries Yuki is routing and where there's room to expand
From the chart you can also:
- Export to CSV for offline analysis or finance reporting
- Set a spend alert directly from the chart (see Alerts below)
Smart Filters
Slice the entire page by:
- Project - focus on one or more GCP projects
- Region - isolate costs by BigQuery region
- User - attribute costs to a specific analyst, pipeline, or service account
- Optimization status - show only optimized or unoptimized queries
The User filter includes a one-click Only toggle to instantly isolate a single user's costs without clearing other filters.
Project Breakdown Table
Every GCP project ranked by cost, with:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Project | GCP project name |
| Cost | Total spend for the selected period |
| % of Total | Proportional bar showing each project's share of total spend |
| Optimization Status | Whether Yuki is enabled for this project |
Search by project name and sort by cost to quickly identify the top spenders. Projects not yet Yuki-enabled are flagged as untapped savings opportunities.
Cost & Anomaly Alerts
The Cost Overview page is also a monitoring layer. From the Manage Alerts panel, configure three alert types:
| Alert Type | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Cost threshold | Total spend crosses a value you define |
| Cost anomaly | Spend spikes unexpectedly relative to your baseline |
| Per-project budget | A specific project's weekly spend exceeds a ceiling |
Alerts deliver to Slack or email.
