Episode 79 of The Data Business Podcast. Lucas and Luna explore how forward-thinking data teams are using data contracts not just for reliability but for precise cost allocation. They dive into a case at a mid-size fintech that cut its cloud data warehouse bill by 28 percent by attaching consumption tags to contract clauses. Lucas explains the mechanics of 'cost-attributed schemas' and Luna questions whether this creates perverse incentives for data producers. The conversation covers implementation gotchas, the role of open table formats, and why this approach beats traditional chargebacks. They also touch on how the practice is spreading from finance to retail and ad tech. A clear, practical episode for anyone running a data platform or paying a six-figure Snowflake bill. #DataContracts #CostAllocation #CloudDataWarehouse #Fintech #DataEngineering #DataGovernance #Snowflake #DataPlatform #FinOps #DataCosts #Chargeback #OpenTableFormats #DataProducers #DataConsumers #Analytics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #DataInfrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
