Compute Costs
Masthead analyzes BigQuery compute resource consumption and provides recommendations based on the pipelines and resource usage patterns. These recommendations help leverage the most cost-effective BigQuery compute models.
Alternative Compute Models
Masthead analyzes BigQuery compute resource consumption and provides recommendations for the most cost-effective BigQuery compute models.

Pipelines with Dead-End Downstream
Masthead identifies and tags tables with no downstream consumption as 'Dead-End Tables'. This allows you to identify running upstream pipelines that only produce these tables. Review and reclaim resources by switching off such pipelines.
Recommendation:
Check recommendations for pipelines with dead-end tables on Costs Insights page:
Pipelines with dead-end tables Verify the tables have no consumers downstream on the Dictionary and Lineage pages.
Adjust or disable upstream pipelines to reduce unnecessary compute spend.
