Daily Term: Snowflake

Snowflake

Snowflake is a cloud-based data platform for data warehousing, data lakes, and analytics, supporting AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It separates compute from storage, allowing independent scaling, and supports SQL for querying. For example, a company might use Snowflake to store and analyze customer data across regions. Snowflake’s architecture offers flexibility and performance, but costs can escalate with heavy compute usage, requiring optimization.
