Abstract

Big-data is no longer a new concept, and the challenges associated with it are quite common, with speed, cost, security, and backups being the most prevalent. Almost every organization that deals with a moderate or large amount of data faces these challenges on a regular basis, which is why I chose this topic for my research. Given that we are in the cloud migration era, I was motivated to investigate how these challenges can be addressed through the use of Software-as-a-Service offerings. I used Snowflake and the provider to access large chunks of data from major cloud storage providers such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft for the demo purpose. During the implementation, I observed that Snowflake is extremely capable of addressing these issues and includes some truly advanced features. My research focused on Snowflake’s security, data retention, and snowpipe features. Additionally, because it is a SaaS, it is extremely user friendly, as all features are accessible via a web browser and do not require installation. Additionally, I used some optimization techniques to boost performance and cut costs. I was able to automate some of the day-to-day tasks using features such as tasks and streams, which is critical for any business that deals with data.
