Running Distributed Computing 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.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing technology refers to a system where multiple computers work together to solve a problem. It allows for parallel processing of data across multiple machines, which can lead to faster processing times. Distributed computing technology has become increasingly popular due to the rise of big data. It allows for the processing of large amounts of data that would be too large for a single machine to handle. Some examples of distributed computing technologies include Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink.

With the growing popularity of both Snowflake for data storage and distributed computing for compute workloads, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to run distributed computing jobs with Snowflake data. Kaspian offers a native connector for this operation. Just register your Snowflake datastore and link your Distributed Computing job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to crunch through any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
