Snowflake Summit Wrapup at Digital Sundai

Snowflake Summit Wrapup at Digital Sundai

I was invited at the Digital Sundai Clubhouse last July 4.

"At the Clubhouse we collaborate in Spaces Keizersgracht on AI, Advanced Analytcs, Data & MLOps to share experiences, extend knowledge and strengthen our networks. The ultimate goal is to strengthen our joint capability to delight our clients with better propositions and state-of-the-art projects."

I had the privilege to share some of the newest features of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud as presented at the last Snowflake Summit in San Francisco.

  5. PLATFORM Gen2 Warehouses "Increased Scale & Speed" Boost memory capacity

    and memory bandwidth Enhanced delete, update, merge and table scan operations More expensive but enhanced performance you need 25% perf gain to meet the 35% increased expense Increased bandwidth up to 50 gpbs so you get more done, faster
  6. Adaptive Warehouses Dynamically adjust compute resources based on demand Automate

    scaling of size and concurrency settings Multi-cluster configurations can increase cluster count to 300 on some sizes Consistent Performance is maintained even under high concurrency loads Cost Optimization uses resources only when needed "Simplified warehouse management" PLATFORM
  7. Horizon Catalog "Breakdown silos" PLATFORM Discovery of content is seamless

    regardless of format or location Secure Collaboration without having to move data when integrating with clients and suppliers Robust Identity Managmeent including auto-classification for sensitive data detection, granular authorization policies and Data Quality monitoring and Data Lineage Visulization
  8. DATA ENGINEERING Managed, extensible platform simplifies data integration across sources

    and formats Built on Apache Nifi to provide robust data flow capabilities using a wide range of processors and controllers Unstructured data or structured data flows for ETL workloads Snowflake OpenFlow "Unified data integration at scale"
  9. DATA ENGINEERING dbt Projects on Snowflake "Run dbt natively on

    Snowflake" Create, edit and schedule git repository projects with git integration in the Workspaces UI Authentication does not require a service account or private link Observability panel to view dag runs and drill thru layers of executions down to the logs Jinja support allows you to execute an individual test in the same editor where you create the .SQL files
  10. DATA ENGINEERING Snowflake Workspaces "One-stop shop for all code editing

    and Collaboration" File-based modern development environment for authoring, organizing, and running Snowflake code artifacts, using familiar IDE and source control conventions
  11. A free, AI-powered migration solution to move your complete data

    ecosystem to Snowflake—from data warehouses to ETL and BI. ANALYTICS SnowConvert AI
  12. ANALYTICS AISQL "Join on an AI Prompt to return results

    on-row" Filter or Agg on the join or where clause Extract from unstructured data World class optimizations such as using small sample models to reduce compute estimations AI Inference Service will run map reduce so is cheaper than synthesizing yourself row by row
  13. ANALYTICS Semantic Views "Join on an AI Prompt to return

    results on-row" Schema-level object created in a database Define metrics in models along with their relationships Semantic Model Dev UI to select tables, columns and auto-generate descriptions Cortex Analyst Semantic View Generator is a wizard to guide the creation process for models
  14. AI Cortex Agents "Orchestration across both structured and unstructured data

    sources to deliver insights." Combines LLMs, SQL and search in one orchestration layer Enables production-grade agents with governance Can be embedded into apps or used via APIs
  15. Agentic experience that simplifies development Business users can converse in

    natural language Data insights can combine results from the data sources you select to connect to, such as Associated Press, USA Today, etc. from Snowflake Marketplace Individual security is applied across data Configure agent to perform tasks such as triggering workflows, updating data or sending notifications Results display as textual related facts and charts AI Snowflake Intelligence "A natural language interface that lets business users query structured and unstructured data with governed insights"
  16. APPLICATIONS & COLLABORATION Agentic Applications "Expansive ecosystem of data and

    agentic AI-ready products" Agentic Native Apps are interoperable agentic building blocks to automate tasks and interact with data in Cortex AI Marketplace provides agentic apps and data products Cortex Knowledge Extensions enrich apps and agents with proprietary unstructured data from third-party providers
  17. APPLICATIONS & COLLABORATION Cortex Knowledge Extensions "Contextualize responses with the

    latest industry knowledge & insights" Remove commercial and integration barriers to Agentic AI Raise the bar on Snowflake Native App security and intelligence Discover and share more open and AI ready data products
