What is Snowflake?

Snowflake is a cloud-native data platform that delivers a data warehouse-as-a-service, designed for the cloud era. As a modern analytics platform, Snowflake separates compute from storage, enabling organizations to scale resources independently while maintaining consistent performance across varying workloads.

What does Snowflake do?

Snowflake provides a comprehensive data platform that enables organizations to process and analyze data at cloud scale. Through its API, businesses can automate sophisticated data operations while maintaining security and governance. The platform excels in handling diverse workloads, supporting everything from data ingestion and transformation to complex analytics and data sharing.

The API enables programmatic access to Snowflake's full feature set, including warehouse management, data operations, and security controls. Organizations can leverage this functionality to build automated data workflows, manage resource allocation, and coordinate complex processing operations while maintaining optimal performance and cost efficiency.
