Snowflake is a single, global platform that powers the Data Cloud. Operating on multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), it offers users the ability to choose their preferred cloud environment. Its architecture separates computing and storage, allowing independent scaling and cost optimization.
One of the key features of Snowflake is its architecture, which separates storage and compute resources. This separation allows users to scale each component independently, meaning they can dynamically allocate resources based on their specific needs. Snowflake also automatically handles tasks such as data replication, encryption, and performance optimization, reducing the need for manual intervention.
When it comes to spatial analysis, you can interact with your Snowflake-hosted location data, eliminating any ETL complexity. These tutorials in the CARTO Academy show you how to leverage the functions of the Analytics Toolbox for Snowflake from data enrichment to specific use cases such as composite score creation, geocoding, spatial index creation, and more. Benefit from Snowflake’s near limitless scalability for geospatial workloads, and access CARTO directly through the Snowflake Marketplace.
