Now I know why our teams internally have been hammered by sales at Snowflake for the past 4 months. Like, relentless, to the point where I doubt we'd entertain their solution even if we had a need. Sorta like Datadog..

What are you using atm? After dealing with Redshift for a few years, Snowflake was and continues to be a breath of fresh air.

Snowflake is pretty nice compared to redshift. Though I really wish there copying data out of s3 worked better then it does.

Big query has been great for me.

Exactly the same experience. The best data lake model and experience I've ever had and will wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

They are actively working on those features from what I hear. Parquet export, partition control, etc.

Snowflake is the go to data warehouse in my opinion. Redshift and BigQuery are fine, but Snowflake is head and shoulders above. Good community around it and tools for it (dbt - works on other warehouse though). They have the mindshare in the data warehouse market.

There's so much they can do from a user experience perspective to make it even better. The integration with Numeracy was a trainwreck, but the fundamentals of the DB are there.

Interesting to see they lose so much money, but I bet their margins have to be so thin running on the cloud. I wonder if they'll ever have to go bare metal to make it work.
