There is only one AI Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the AI Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. In fact, Snowflake processes over 6 billion queries every day, supporting countless businesses in making data-driven decisions. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.
