Course description

Snowflake is a next-generation cloud data storage solution that everyone is talking about today. The platform operates 100% in the cloud, providing flexible access to data, scaling on demand, and allowing for the integration of disparate sources, data sharing, and the execution of various analytical tasks. Snowflake is actively used by large companies, and the skill of working with this platform is becoming increasingly in demand among data engineers and analysts. To effectively use Snowflake, one must be able to prepare and integrate data, manage it within the platform, and connect with external tools and services. Therefore, knowledge of Snowflake is relevant not only for analysts but also for data engineers.
