At Snowflake, we’re helping data scientists, data engineers, and application developers build faster and more efficiently in the Data Cloud. That’s why at our annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2023, we unveiled new features that further extend data programmability in Snowflake for their language of choice, without having to compromise on governance.

The potential of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) for enterprises is massive. We’ve talked about this opportunity before and at Summit 2023, we announced a number of capabilities that come together to help our customers bring generative AI and LLMs directly to their proprietary data, all delivered through a single, secure platform.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, telcos made unprecedented use of data and data-driven automation to optimize their network operations, improve customer support, and identify opportunities to expand into new markets. This is no less crucial today, as telcos balance the needs to cut costs and improve efficiencies while delivering innovative products and services.

The world is undergoing a remarkable transformation fueled by data. Organizations have accumulated silos across their data infrastructure to support various workloads, languages, tools, and formats because of technology limitations. These silos can have major consequences in the form of greater operational burden, security vulnerabilities, increased total cost of ownership, incomplete insights, and reduced agility.

Containers have emerged as the modern approach to package code in any language to ensure portability and consistency across environments, especially for sophisticated AI/ML models and full-stack data-intensive apps. These types of modern data products frequently deal with massive amounts of proprietary data.

Financial dashboards bring performance into focus by collecting the most important metrics and indicators in one location. But when organizations build their financial dashboards from the ground up, challenges often arise. A primary hurdle is making the right design choices to create dashboards that drive successful business decisions. To overcome this hurdle, it helps to incorporate ideas that have already been implemented, evaluated, and improved on by others.

At Snowflake Summit 2022, we introduced a new way of building apps with the Snowflake Native App Framework. Today, we are excited to bring the power of the Snowflake Native App Framework to developers around the world with the public preview in AWS. Developers can now start building and testing Snowflake Native Apps in their accounts in AWS. Distribution and monetization capabilities will be available in public preview on AWS later this year.
