Snowflake Training

Snowflake features storage, compute, and global services layers that are physically separated but logically integrated. Data workloads scale independently from one another, making it an ideal platform for data warehousing, data lakes, data engineering, data science, modern data sharing, and developing data applications.

With so many SaaS Data warehouse solutions available competing against one another, Snowflake stands out among the crowd for its uniqueness in design and approach.  Unlike other data warehouse systems, Snowflake is not built on Big Data platforms but works on a new SQL engine best suited for the cloud.

 Some of the well-known features of Snowflake are:

• Cloning – the clone feature creates an instant copy of any Snowflake object with no storage cost
• Undrop – any dropped object (databases, schemas, tables, etc.) can be undropped
• Pay-as-you-go pricing – Snowflake offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model that enables businesses to only pay for the resources they use
• Data Sharing – Snowflake enables secure data sharing across multiple accounts, enabling businesses to collaborate with partners and customers without compromising data security
• Time Travel – Time travel refers to the ability to query data as it existed at a specific point in time
• Fail-safe – In the event of any disaster like hardware or disk failures, Snowflake engineers can recover the data for up to seven days
