Topic:
Cloud databases bring a new set of performance and cost benefits. In this session, we’ll learn Snowflake architecture and basic concepts, what makes Snowflake ideal for large-scale data warehousing. We’ll begin with the concepts of PaaS and how that applies to databases in particular. We’ll see how Snowflake’s design allows for high performance at low cost. We will also talk about what makes Snowflake unique compared to other cloud databases. Each step of the way we will have demos to show you how to implement Snowflake in Azure cloud. By the end of this session, you’ll be able to compare Snowflake to other tools like SQL Server and have a good idea about concepts and architecture of the Snowflake ecosystem.
