Ternary, the leading FinOps platform for Google Cloud and multi-cloud environments, has formed a strategic partnership with Alvin, the autonomous BigQuery optimization engine, to deliver unified FinOps governance and continuous, hands-free BigQuery cost and performance optimization for predictable, measurable savings on Google Cloud.
As Google Cloud adoption grows and BigQuery becomes a major driver of analytics spend, organizations face the dual challenge of maintaining strong financial governance while ensuring operational efficiency at scale. Ternary and Alvin address this by combining comprehensive visibility with intelligent, autonomous optimization.
Ternary offers native, real-time insights and controls across all Google Cloud services, including precise allocation to teams and projects, budgeting, forecasting, anomaly detection, and chargeback capabilities specifically for BigQuery usage. This creates a financial system of record that promotes accountability and informed decision-making.
Alvin complements this foundation by continuously analyzing query patterns, resource consumption, and pricing models to automatically optimize BigQuery execution. The engine improves performance, maximizes slot utilization, and reduces costs without requiring manual intervention from data engineers or analysts.
“Ternary was built to help organizations manage Google Cloud and technology spend as a disciplined financial system of record,” said Sasha Kipervarg, Ternary CEO and co-founder. “By going to market with Alvin, we connect FinOps governance directly to BigQuery execution, giving customers a clear and practical path from insight to sustained savings.”
“The partnership between Alvin and Ternary represents a shift from passive cost monitoring to active cost management,” said Dan Mashiter, Alvin co-founder. “Our autonomous optimization engine perfectly complements Ternary’s comprehensive FinOps platform, giving Google Cloud customers a seamless way to govern their entire cloud footprint while ensuring their largest BigQuery workloads are running at peak efficiency and lowest possible cost.”
Together, the solution empowers:
This best-of-breed approach helps organizations eliminate waste, sustain savings as data usage expands, and confidently scale analytics initiatives on Google Cloud.
