  • Manage secure, cross-engine access to data in open table formats and get read/write access for all Iceberg tables.

  • Provide context to AI agents for useful, trustworthy output.

  • Connect ecosystems across regions and clouds with unified manageability, business continuity and disaster recovery, and seamless collaboration.

Manage cost and performance

Time is money — save both with Snowflake

  • See, control and optimize your Snowflake spend through a unified Cost Management Interface. 
  • Check query performance easily to proactively save on costs. 
  • Automatically benefit from regular rollouts of performance improvements across all workloads.

Monitor, troubleshoot and debug

Get faster telemetry across your AI and data

  • Start with Snowflake’s built-in observability in a few simple steps, and seamlessly export telemetry data to your preferred third-party tools as needed.
  • Evaluate gen AI quality, compare model configurations and trace execution flows without exporting sensitive data.
  • Address bottlenecks quicker with deeper, more unified visibility across your applications, pipelines and infrastructure.

Innovate with warehouses and container services

Enjoy regular, automatic performance improvements and extend your platform

  • Experience 2.0x  faster performance for core analytics workloads with Standard Warehouse - Generation 2, Snowflake’s updated Standard Warehouse with upgraded hardware and additional performance enhancements.

  • Snowflake Adaptive Compute* offers enhanced ease of use with better price for performance through automatic selection of right-sized compute resources shared optimally across an account and intelligent query routing. Use this compute service to create new Adaptive Warehouses.*
  • Snowpark Container Services (SPCS) is a powerful extension that turns Snowflake into a platform for running containers, services and AI/ML apps securely and natively alongside your data.

All your data in one place

Run transactional applications, analytics and AI on one unified platform

  • Stop managing separate databases. Instead, let Snowflake help unify your data footprint, so you can run transactional workloads alongside all your other workloads on a single platform. 

  • Choose from two powerful capabilities: Snowflake Postgres for enterprise-ready Postgres, or Unistore’s Hybrid Tables to manage application state and build lightweight transactional apps directly on Snowflake.

  • Eliminate data pipelines to help reduce complexity, lower costs and innovate faster.
