What Is Snowflake And Why You Should Use It For Your Cloud Data Warehouse
From Tasks To Snowpipes
Snowflake is a cloud data platform. To be more specific it’s the first cloud built data platform. Its architecture allows data specialists to not only create data warehouses but also cloud data lake-houses because it can manage both structured and unstructured data easily.
Being that Snowflake is based in the cloud, this means that it allows developers to take advantage of elasticity and scalability without worrying about things like high up front costs, performance, or complexity of managing the system.
