Snowflake is the leading cloud data warehouse with separate compute and storage, data sharing, and Snowpark for custom code. Dominant in enterprise data analytics.
Reviewer scorecard
“Software-defined assets are the right abstraction. Better DX than Airflow with type checking and built-in observability.”
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“The asset-centric approach makes more sense than Airflow's task-centric model for modern data engineering.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Dagster represents the next generation of data orchestration. Asset-based thinking replaces task-based thinking.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
