Running Big Data Jobs with Snowflake Data

Snowflake

Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing company that provides a platform for data storage, processing and analysis. It is considered cloud-agnostic, as it operates across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. Snowflake delivers a platform that is fast, flexible, and user-friendly. It provides the means for not only data storage but also processing and analysis. One of the main reasons that Snowflake is gaining recognition as the top cloud data warehousing solution is thanks to its architecture, which consists of dynamic, scalable computing power with usage-based charges out-of-the-box features such as data cloning and sharing, on-the-fly scalable computing and third-party tool support.

Big Data

Big data refers to data that is so large, fast or complex that it's difficult or impossible to process using traditional methods. It can be a combination of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data collected by organizations that can be mined for information and used in machine learning projects, predictive modeling and other advanced analytics applications. Big data technology deals with data storage that has the capability to fetch, store, and manage big data. It allows users to store the data so that it is convenient to access. Big data analytics helps companies leverage their data to identify opportunities for improvement and optimization. Across different business segments, increasing efficiency leads to overall more intelligent operations, higher profits, and satisfied customers.

With the growing popularity of both Snowflake for data storage and big data for compute workloads, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to run big data jobs with Snowflake data.
