# SELECT

> SELECT is a data cloud cost observability and optimization platform that gives query-level cost attribution, automated savings, and governance across Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery. It continuously right-sizes virtual warehouses to cut compute costs 10-20% with no engineering effort, while giving data, platform, and FinOps teams a single pane of glass into exactly where every credit goes, down to the query, dbt model, Looker dashboard, or Airflow task. SELECT was acquired by DoiT in January 2026 and continues to operate as an independent product under its own brand and domain, while also being available inside DoiT's Cloud Intelligence™ platform as PerfectScale for Data Platforms.

SELECT serves data engineering, platform engineering, and FinOps teams running Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery. Its core capabilities, Visibility, Insights, Automated Savings, Usage Groups, and Monitors, pair with out-of-the-box integrations across the data stack (dbt, Looker, Sigma, Airflow, and more) to eliminate wasted compute, catch cost anomalies before they become surprises, and give data teams and business stakeholders shared visibility into cost, usage, and performance across every workload.
