When warehouse views time out, materialize the trunk not the leaves

Nine warehouse views timing out usually means two trunks and seven dependents. Teams that rewrite every leaf, or jump straight to a new platform, often miss the cheap win: materialize the consolidations everything else hangs from.

Use a layered playbook. Drop orphans. Apply cheap predicate and join rewrites. Then materialize the two or three heavy consolidations. Measure with the same harness before and after. Document what is a view versus a managed table so CI/CD stays honest.
