Ebook
Struggling with rising Snowflake costs and constant tuning? Poorly aligned data models can lead to bloated expenses, inefficient queries, and time-consuming rework. Data Modeling with Snowflake helps you harness the Snowflake Data Cloud’s scalable, cloud-native architecture and expansive feature set to deliver data solutions faster than ever.
This book introduces simple, practical data modeling frameworks that accelerate agile design and evolve alongside your projects from concept to code. Rooted in decades of proven database design principles, these frameworks are paired, for the first time, with Snowflake-native objects and real-world examples, offering a two-in-one crash course in theory and direct application.
Through real-world examples designed to make learning easy, you’ll leverage Snowflake’s innovative features like Time Travel, Zero-Copy Cloning, and Change Data Capture (CDC) to create cost-efficient solutions. Whether you're just starting out or refining your architecture, this book will guide you in designing smarter, scaling faster, and cutting costs by aligning timeless modeling principles with the power of Snowflake.
