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
“Essential infrastructure for any app that needs caching or pub/sub. Upstash makes it serverless and affordable.”
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“The license change burned some goodwill but Redis is still the best at what it does. Valkey is the hedge.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Redis modules (search, graph, time series) make it more than a cache. The platform expansion is working.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
