Speaker: Warner Chaves

Details:
Snowflake is the only fully managed petabyte scale data platform solution that is compatible across the main three cloud providers: Amazon Web Services. Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

With a laser focus on user friendliness and a cloud-first development approach, the Snowflake Cloud Data Platform can fit transparently into your business data strategy and leverage already existing and familiar development and management skills. All this while providing massive scale, zero maintenance and one single source of truth.
