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
“Pythonic decorators for workflow orchestration. No DAGs to configure — just Python functions with retries and caching.”
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“Easier to learn than Airflow and the Python-native approach means less boilerplate. Good free cloud tier.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Python-native orchestration is more natural for data teams. Prefect and Dagster represent the post-Airflow era.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
