SNOWFLAKE FOR BUILDING DATA APPLICATIONS

Simplify developing data-intensive applications that scale cost-effectively and consistently to deliver fast analytics

Snowflake’s Data Cloud powers applications with virtually unlimited performance, concurrency, and scale.

Launch new features faster with simplified data pipelines and improved engineering efficiency. Delivered as a service, Snowflake handles the infrastructure complexity, so you can focus on innovating with the data applications you build.

Near-unlimited Scalability and Concurrency

Consistently deliver on performance SLAs with Snowflake’s multi-cluster, shared data architecture. Spin up dedicated compute resources instantly to support a near-unlimited number of concurrent users and workloads, and without degrading performance.

Streamlined Data Pipelines

Build applications that deliver fresh insights from semi-structured data faster without having to dedicate engineering teams to prepare data and maintain pipelines. Use ANSI SQL for all data, including support for joins across data types and databases.

No SRE/DevOps Burden

Improve engineering productivity thanks to Snowflake, which automatically handles provisioning, availability, tuning, data protection, and other Day-2 operations seamlessly across multiple clouds so you don’t have to.
