Snowflake started with a clear vision: make modern data warehousing effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. Because traditional on-premises and cloud solutions struggle with this, Snowflake developed an innovative product with a new built-for-the-cloud architecture that combines the power of data warehousing, the flexibility of big data platforms, and the elasticity of the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. Over the last few years, Snowflake has added additional products and features to its portfolio (from data pipelines, cross-region / cloud features to data exchanges) to become the leading Data Cloud.
