Training Tensorflow Models 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.

Tensorflow Models

TensorFlow is a free and open-source software library for machine learning and artificial intelligence. It can be used across a range of tasks but has a particular focus on training and inference of deep neural networks. TensorFlow helped launch the deep learning revolution: with pre-trained models, data, and high-level APIs, it has become easy for everyone to build ML and DL models. One of the important Tensorflow features is that it is flexible in its operating model, meaning it has modularity and the parts of it that you want to make standalone it offers you that option. TensorFlow.js is a JavaScript-based framework to run machine learning models within the browser. Any modern browser can run the TensorFlow model with no changes to the code.

With the growing popularity of both Snowflake for storage and Tensorflow models for AI deployments, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to train Tensorflow models using data in Snowflake. Kaspian offers native connectors for this operation. Just register your Snowflake datastore and link your model training job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to train and deploy Tensorflow models using any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
