How To Scale Threat Detection & Response With Snowflake & Securonix
Securonix brings exciting new capabilities to the field of threat detection and response thanks to its integration with Snowflake. Together, the two companies provide a split-architecture solution that solves the problem of data silos and enables organizations to make better, more timely decisions about potential threats to their organization.

How Your Organization Can Win in Today's Data Economy
The skyrocketing value of data has created a global supply and demand for data, data applications, and data services. This new data economy is powered by technologies that enable data access and sharing, including cloud platforms, exchanges, and marketplaces.
Support Multiple Data Modeling Approaches with Snowflake
Since I joined Snowflake, I have been asked multiple times what data warehouse modeling approach Snowflake best supports. Well, the cool thing is that Snowflake supports multiple data modeling approaches equally. Turns out we have a few customers who have existing data warehouses built using a particular approach known as the Data Vault modeling approach, and they have decided to move into Snowflake. So the conversation often goes like this.
Elevate Gives Retailers a Powerful New Tool for Managing Supply Chains
In today’s world, retail customers expect things fast. They want their products on time and they want their orders not to be canceled. And when things go wrong, they want answers. To deliver that experience, retailers need to be able to understand at a granular level how their customers’ orders are moving through their supply chains. In this episode of “Powered by Snowflake,” Daniel Myers chats with Elevate Co-founder and CTO James Sutton about his company’s recently introduced retail operations platform that provides the analytics retailers need to evaluate and manage supply chain performance.
New Snowflake Features Released in March 2022

Get Your Retail Plan in Shape: A 7-Step Regimen for Year-Round Selling
Once upon a time, the retail calendar centered itself on the Christmas season. Now, the retail surge is year-round. Not just the wave of traditional seasonal holidays from Valentine’s Day to the 4th of July, but also newer sales holidays, such as Cyber Monday, or even holidays created by some gigantic companies themselves, like Amazon’s Prime Day. Now, instead of a steady pace leading up to a frenzied December, retailers are in sprint mode all the time.

Lacework Brings New Tools To Cloud Security
By taking a data-driven approach to cloud security, Lacework allows clients to expand their use of the cloud safely in a way that doesn't require them to grow their security team linearly. The key, says Ryan Henrich, Director of Technology Alliances at Lacework, is to treat security as a data problem.
SQL Puzzle Optimization: The UDTF Approach For A Decay Function
How do you implement a decay function in SQL? You can use window functions, which scale better than joins, or better yet, you can try what Felipe Hoffa did: use tabular UDFs. In this video, Felipe shows you how you can use a tabular UDF to write custom code that can analyze a table row by row while preserving state. Felipe wrote a table UDF in JavaScript that uses a low amount of memory to keep track of the decaying values. He was able to run it in 36 seconds, instead of the 46 seconds that the SQL with windows solution took; and then he optimized the JavaScript even further and ran it in just 9 seconds.
