Snowflake is one of the few enterprise-ready cloud data warehouses that brings simplicity without sacrificing features. It automatically scales, both up and down, to get the right balance of performance vs. cost. Snowflake’s claim to fame is that it separates compute from storage. This is significant because almost every other database, Redshift included, combines the two together, meaning you must size for your largest workload and incur the cost that comes with it.

With Snowflake, you can store all your data in a single place, and size your compute independently. For example, if you need near-real-time data loads for complex transformations, but have relatively few complex queries in your reporting, you can script a massive Snowflake warehouse for the data load, and scale it back down after it’s completed – all in real time. This saves on cost without sacrificing your solution goals.
