Data Programmability with Snowpark API and Java UDFs

Not every developer wants to write in SQL, nor does SQL naturally handle every data programmability problem. This leads users to pull their data into other systems, which adds cost, time, and complexity while hurting security and governance. Snowflake is continuously making the platform more developer-friendly and extensible so more can be done with less. In this session, we discuss the present and future of Snowflake's extensibility, including Java UDFs and Snowpark. We'll also demo many exciting features in our roadmap and explore the scenarios they unlock.

HBase to CDP Operational Database Migration Overview

This blog post provides an overview of the HBase to CDP Operational Database (COD) migration process. CDP Operational Database enables developers to quickly build future-proof applications that are architected to handle data evolution. It helps developers automate and simplify database management with capabilities like auto-scale and is fully integrated with Cloudera Data Platform (CDP).

Failover Across Clouds

In this extended demo, Sahaj Saini shows you how Snowflake can replicate data and account metadata (like users, roles, compute resources, resource monitors, etc...) and failover these over across cloud providers on demand. For the fictional company, Style Me Up, he'll demonstrate how to set up replication with failover groups and trigger a failover and redirect client applications.

Gooooaaaallll: Winning at the data game

Sometimes the lifestyles of the rich and famous aren’t as glamorous as they seem at first glance. We all know that professional athletes can make incredible amounts of money. But by the age of 35, most pro athletes are already at the end of their prime earning years. Historically, a lot of them haven’t managed their money well — and they may even go bankrupt in retirement.

Snowflake Unlocks Data Value While Safeguarding Privacy for Both Roku and ViacomCBS

In the past, data leaders had to manage a balancing act between data access and governance. Granting too much access meant opening up the business—and the privacy of consumers—to risk. But if you hold back data, you can’t deliver great experiences and value to customers. The Snowflake Media Data Cloud empowers companies to let go of the balancing act. They now have a single platform to store, govern, and share data while maintaining strict data governance.

Top Cloud Data Migration Challenges in 2022 and How to Fix Them

We recently sat down with Sandeep Uttamchandani, Chief Product Officer at Unravel, to discuss the top cloud data migration challenges in 2022. No question, the pace of data pipelines moving to the cloud is accelerating. But as we see more enterprises moving to the cloud, we also hear more stories about how migrations went off the rails. One report says that 90% of CIOs experience failure or disruption of data migration projects due to the complexity of moving from on-prem to the cloud. Here are Dr.

The Most Unique Snowflake

Okay, I admit, the title is a little click-batey, but it does hold some truth! I spent the holidays up in the mountains, and if you live in the northern hemisphere like me, you know that means that I spent the holidays either celebrating or cursing the snow. When I was a kid, during this time of year we would always do an art project making snowflakes. We would bust out the scissors, glue, paper, string, and glitter, and go to work.
