Snowflake is a relatively new cloud‐optimized database, designed primarily for data warehousing solutions on the cloud. Snowflake was designed from the ground up as a cloud‐only data warehouse platform. A significant advantage of the Snowflake platform compared to other data warehouses is its differentiated architecture. Snowflake takes full advantage of the underlying cloud platform's novel features. The outcome is a hybrid architecture in which the computation or processing layer can be scaled independently of the storage layer. Snowflake's hybrid architecture also brings out a unique array of features not seen in many other databases, introducing concepts such as zero‐copy cloning, Time Travel, and secure data sharing.
