See costs for every run
Easily understand what each run costs—even if you’re not a data engineer.
Dagster surfaces cost alongside the metadata your team already checks, like duration, asset, trigger type, and API credit usage.
One place to track and optimize data and AI spend
Dagster helps you understand the costs behind each asset and dataset.
With Dagster, cost effectiveness can coexist with high quality data delivery.
The problem: No visibility. No control. Big bill.
Without cost observability, you can’t fix what’s draining your budget. It’s impossible to spot high-cost pipelines, inefficient jobs, or wasteful design decisions when your costs are locked in a dashboard or tool that no one checks.
Costs are now accessible to everyone
Identify expensive pipelines
Spot which pipelines are racking up data & AI costs and why—before they spiral out of control.
Set notifications when you’re close to going over budget, if spikes occur, etc.
Trace cost back to code
See the compute and storage costs associated with each asset, step, or resource. Debug expensive design.
Control AI pipeline costs before they spiral
Dagster lets you see the cost behind every AI pipeline run—including Snowflake credits, job duration, compute intensity, and trigger method.
Costs are now accessible to anyone
Dagster sits at the center of all your recurring data processes—from ingestion to transformation to visualization. As the orchestrator, it becomes the natural place to track and manage costs across tools.
With visibility across pipelines, teams, and tags, you can avoid data silos, improve accountability, and ensure your spend is traceable—not lost in unknown systems.
"Dagster Insights has been an invaluable tool for our team. Being able to easily track Snowflake costs associated with our dbt models has helped us identify optimization opportunities and reduce our Snowflake costs.”

Orchestration is More than Scheduling: Declarative Automation in Dagster
Define the outcome, not the orchestration. Declarative Automation lets you express your desired asset state while Dagster continuously handles the work needed to achieve it.
