fix: stop compute pool billing when the app is stopped - #31
Conversation
Adds the persistent state the billing fix depends on. - app_config: a single-row table in app_public that records the compute pool and warehouse names supplied to start_app, so later calls (stop_app, suspend_app, resume_app, get_compute_status) can act on the right resources without the caller repeating them. - set_compute_pool_state: an internal helper that suspends or resumes a compute pool. Pool ownership differs depending on whether the pool was created by the consumer (scripts/instantiate.sql) or by the application itself (start_app), so the helper validates the pool name against a strict identifier regex before interpolating it and treats a privilege error as a non-fatal outcome rather than failing the whole procedure.
start_app previously used CREATE COMPUTE POOL IF NOT EXISTS and CREATE SERVICE IF NOT EXISTS. When a pool or service already existed in a SUSPENDED state both statements were no-ops, so the procedure waited for a service that was never going to start and eventually hung. - Record the pool and warehouse names into app_config via MERGE. - Set AUTO_SUSPEND_SECS = 300 on pools created by the app, as a backstop so an abandoned pool stops billing on its own. - Explicitly resume the pool before waiting on the service. - Explicitly resume the service if it already exists. start_app is now idempotent: it resumes what is already there and only creates what is missing.
stop_app only dropped the service:
BEGIN DROP SERVICE IF EXISTS app_public.st_spcs; END
Dropping the service releases the nodes but leaves the compute pool
running, and Snowflake bills compute pools per node-hour in the
ACTIVE, IDLE, RESIZING and STOPPING states. Only SUSPENDED is free.
Consumers who followed the documented stop procedure therefore kept
paying indefinitely for a pool with nothing running on it.
Measured on a real account, a CPU_X64_S pool left in this state burned
105.37 credits over 40 days (~0.11 credits/node-hour), which matches
Snowflake's published rate.
stop_app now drops the service and then suspends the compute pool,
resolving the pool name from app_config when the caller does not pass
one. It runs EXECUTE AS OWNER and degrades gracefully when the pool is
not owned by the application, reporting what it managed to do instead
of failing.
stop_app drops the service, which means the in-memory graph data is lost and has to be reloaded on the next start. That is a heavy price for pausing between two demo runs. - suspend_app: suspends the service and the compute pool, so billing stops without tearing the deployment down. The graph data still does not survive, because falkordb.yaml mounts no persistent volume, so the procedure and its documentation say so explicitly. - resume_app: resumes the pool and then the service. - get_compute_status: reports the recorded pool and warehouse together with their current state, so a consumer can confirm nothing is billing without reading through SHOW COMPUTE POOLS output.
Two scripts that drive a full demo from the command line and, more importantly, make it hard to leave compute running by accident. demo_up.sh brings the app up, loads the air-routes dataset and runs a few sample queries. Because SPCS reports a container READY before FalkorDB is actually listening (falkordb.yaml declares no readiness probe), the script polls a real graph_query until it answers rather than trusting the READY state, which otherwise produces a 503. It also installs an EXIT/INT/TERM trap so that if any step fails after compute has started, it prints a prominent warning and the exact teardown command instead of silently leaving a pool billing. demo_down.sh tears the demo down, defaulting to suspend_app and taking --drop for stop_app. It polls until the pool actually reports SUSPENDED, because a pool in STOPPING is still billing and reporting success at that point would be misleading. It deliberately does not use set -e, so a failure in one step cannot stop it from attempting the rest of the teardown, and it points at GRANT OPERATE when a pool cannot be suspended for privilege reasons.
The docs described stop_app as the way to stop paying, which was not true, and never mentioned that a compute pool bills independently of the service. Explains which pool states bill, documents suspend_app, resume_app and get_compute_status alongside start_app and stop_app, states that graph data does not survive either a stop or a suspend because the service has no persistent volume, and describes the demo scripts.
Ships the compute pool billing fix and the new lifecycle procedures. Released and set as the default release directive for V2.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds compute-pool lifecycle procedures, resource tracking, and structured status reporting. It also adds idempotent Air Routes demo startup and shutdown scripts with readiness checks, data loading, pool suspension, and expanded operational documentation. ChangesApp Lifecycle and Demo Operations
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The change correctly adds compute-pool suspension and resume behavior, but merge should include owner awareness of a local symlink risk in the demo script’s temporary-file handling and a follow-up to apply warehouse settings to existing installations; these are bounded issues and the PR is otherwise mergeable.

Snowflake CLI snow sql --warehouse option official documentation
💡 Result:
The Snowflake CLI snow sql command includes a --warehouse option, which allows you to specify the warehouse to use for the session [1][2]. When provided, this option overrides any warehouse value specified in your connection configuration [1][2]. It accepts a string value (TEXT) representing the name of the warehouse [1]. In addition to the command-line option, you can manage the warehouse setting through: - Your config.toml file, where connections are defined [3][2]. - Environment variables, specifically SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE, which can be used to set the default warehouse [3][2]. For a full list of configuration parameters and options available in the Snowflake CLI, you can execute snow sql --help in your terminal [3][2].

The demo scripts had no documentation next to them. Their usage was only described in the root readme, below three one-time setup steps, so anyone landing in scripts/ found nothing. Two things in particular were undocumented anywhere in the repo: how to set up a Snowflake CLI connection, and the fact that the scripts assume the application already exists rather than creating it. Covers what the scripts do and that they run locally against your own account, installing the CLI and creating a connection, the prerequisites and account privileges, the Air Routes dataset (which lives in examples/airroutes, a different directory) with its sources and the Snowflake tables the demo creates from it, the flags and environment variables, the compute pool cost model, and the failures hit while testing.
start_app() created the compute pool before recording its name, so a failure between the two left a pool billing with nothing in app_config for stop_app() to suspend. The pool and warehouse are now recorded first, and the JS overload refuses up front - before any compute exists - when the pool name is unusable, when the service already runs on a different pool, or when it cannot determine whether the service exists at all. A bare CREATE SERVICE also failed on every repeat call after the pool had already been created and resumed; an existing service is now updated with ALTER SERVICE instead, so custom CPU and memory take effect. The lifecycle messages are now worded from the pool's real state rather than from the fact that a statement succeeded: a pool in STOPPING is not reported as stopped, set_compute_pool_state() re-reads the state instead of matching Snowflake's error text, and suspend_app() no longer swallows a failed ALTER SERVICE SUSPEND or claims to have resumed a pool that was never recorded.

The docs promised a restart "in seconds" when a measured resume took around 210 seconds, told readers to wait for READY while also stating that READY is reached before FalkorDB accepts connections, and showed get_service_logs() with two arguments when it takes three. Readers are now pointed at the serving flag, which is the only signal that means the database is reachable. Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
demo_up.sh broke out of its wait loop on READY, which a container reaches before FalkorDB listens on its port - a live run showed READY at 30s and serving only at 255s. The loop now waits for the serving flag and falls back to READY plus a real query for apps installed before the flag existed. It also stops immediately when start_app refuses a bad pool or warehouse name, which it reports by returning a message rather than failing, instead of waiting out the whole 900s timeout. demo_down.sh read the pool state through SHOW ... LIKE, where _ is a single-character wildcard, so POOL_CONSUMER could match another pool and report its state when confirming that the demo had shut down. The name is now compared exactly.

Do not promise a restart in seconds.
A suspended pool and service still require startup and readiness polling. This conflicts with the lifecycle guidance that users should plan for minutes. State that preserving the service definition can avoid recreation, but startup duration can still be several minutes.

Snowflake CREATE WAREHOUSE IF NOT EXISTS existing warehouse properties AUTO_SUSPEND AUTO_RESUME INITIALLY_SUSPENDED ALTER WAREHOUSE documentation
💡 Result:
In Snowflake, virtual warehouses are managed using the CREATE WAREHOUSE and ALTER WAREHOUSE commands [1][2]. CREATE WAREHOUSE The CREATE WAREHOUSE command includes the IF NOT EXISTS clause to prevent errors if the warehouse already exists [1][3]. Key properties for warehouse configuration include: AUTO_SUSPEND: Specifies the number of seconds of inactivity after which a warehouse is automatically suspended [4]. Set to NULL or 0 to disable auto-suspend [5][4]. AUTO_RESUME: A boolean (TRUE/FALSE) that determines if the warehouse automatically resumes when a SQL statement is submitted [4]. The default is TRUE [4]. INITIALLY_SUSPENDED: A boolean (TRUE/FALSE) that determines if the warehouse is created in a suspended state [4]. If set to TRUE, the warehouse is created but remains suspended; the default is FALSE [4]. Example: CREATE WAREHOUSE IF NOT EXISTS my_warehouse WITH WAREHOUSE_SIZE = 'XSMALL' AUTO_SUSPEND = 300 AUTO_RESUME = TRUE INITIALLY_SUSPENDED = TRUE; ALTER WAREHOUSE The ALTER WAREHOUSE command is used to modify existing warehouse properties, suspend or resume the warehouse, or abort running queries [2][6]. Common modifications include: - Changing properties: ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse SET AUTO_SUSPEND = 600; [2][7] - Suspending/Resuming: ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse SUSPEND; or ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse RESUME; [2][8] - Aborting queries: ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse ABORT ALL QUERIES; [2][6] Important Notes: - The INITIALLY_SUSPENDED property is only applicable during the creation of a warehouse and cannot be altered using the ALTER WAREHOUSE command [9]. - For interactive warehouses, specific limitations apply, such as a minimum auto-suspend value of 86400 seconds (24 hours) [10].

site:docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/alter-warehouse ALTER WAREHOUSE SET AUTO_SUSPEND AUTO_RESUME syntax multiple properties comma
💡 Result:
In Snowflake, you can modify multiple warehouse properties in a single ALTER WAREHOUSE statement using the SET clause [1]. According to the official documentation, the properties and parameters within the SET clause can be separated by blank spaces, commas, or new lines [1]. Example syntax for setting multiple properties, including AUTO_SUSPEND and AUTO_RESUME: ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse SET AUTO_SUSPEND = 60, AUTO_RESUME = TRUE; Alternatively, using a comma-separated format: ALTER WAREHOUSE my_warehouse SET AUTO_SUSPEND = 60, AUTO_RESUME = TRUE; The documentation confirms that for the SET clause, you specify one or more properties or parameters, and these are separated by spaces, commas, or new lines [1]. Similarly, for UNSET, you can unset multiple properties or parameters in a single statement, provided they are separated by commas [1].

Apply the warehouse policy after idempotent creation.
CREATE WAREHOUSE IF NOT EXISTS does not update an existing warehouse. Add ALTER WAREHOUSE IF EXISTS statements for wh_falkordb and wh_consumer to set AUTO_SUSPEND = 300 and AUTO_RESUME = TRUE. INITIALLY_SUSPENDED applies only during creation.

The problem
stop_appwas this:Dropping the service releases the nodes but leaves the compute pool running. Snowflake bills compute pools per node-hour in
ACTIVE,IDLE,RESIZINGandSTOPPING— onlySUSPENDEDis free. So every consumer who followed our documented stop procedure kept paying indefinitely for a pool with nothing on it.This is not theoretical. On a real account,
FALKORDB_POOLburned 105.37 credits over 40 days (960 h ≈ 0.11 credits/node-hour), which matches Snowflake's published CPU_X64_S rate exactly.AUTO_SUSPEND_SECSdid not save us either. It defaults to 3600, and more importantly FalkorDB is a long-lived container, so the pool is never actually idle and auto-suspend never fires.There was a second bug in the same area:
start_appusedCREATE COMPUTE POOL IF NOT EXISTS/CREATE SERVICE IF NOT EXISTS. If either already existed in aSUSPENDEDstate, both statements were no-ops, nothing ever resumed, and the procedure waited for a service that was never going to start. Reproduced live — a 6.5 minute hang against a pool suspended since July.What this does
stop_appnow drops the service and suspends the compute pool, resolving the pool name from a newapp_configtable when the caller doesn't pass one.start_appexplicitly resumes the pool and the service, so it is genuinely idempotent, and setsAUTO_SUSPEND_SECS = 300on pools it creates as a backstop.suspend_app/resume_appfor pausing between runs without a full teardown, andget_compute_statusso a consumer can confirm nothing is billing.scripts/demo_up.shandscripts/demo_down.sh.Pool ownership differs depending on whether the consumer created the pool (
scripts/instantiate.sql) or the app did (start_app), so every pool operation is best-effort: it runsEXECUTE AS OWNER, validates the pool name against a strict identifier regex before interpolating it, and reports what it managed to do rather than failing the whole call. When a pool genuinely can't be suspended for privilege reasons, the output points atGRANT OPERATE ON COMPUTE POOL.Note that graph data does not survive a stop or a suspend —
falkordb.yamlmounts no persistent volume, its only volume isshared-stagingfor CSV import. The procedures and docs now say so explicitly instead of leaving people to find out.Verification
