Snow­flake vs. BigQuery


In this webinar, par­ti­cipants will learn about the most import­ant dif­fer­ences between Snow­flake and BigQuery. Dur­ing the webinar, the archi­tec­ture func­tions and per­form­ance of the two plat­forms will be com­pared and set in rela­tion to each other.

Descrip­tion


Dur­ing the webinar, the key dif­fer­ences and fea­tures of Snow­flake and BigQuery will be highlighted:

The archi­tec­ture of both plat­forms will be high­lighted: Snow­flake util­izes the data cloud and multi-cluster archi­tec­ture, while BigQuery relies on a prac­tical entirely server­less approach and colum­nar stor­age. This fun­da­mental archi­tec­tural dif­fer­ence also means that the pro­cessing of data within the two plat­forms dif­fers. In addi­tion to the archi­tec­tural dif­fer­ences, dif­fer­ences in the integ­ra­tion of other tools and plat­forms are also high­lighted. Vari­ous secur­ity aspects, fea­tures and best prac­tices such as time trav­el­ing or the cre­ation of test envir­on­ments using clones will also be dis­cussed in more detail. The webinar will also com­pare Snow­flake and BigQuery in terms of their per­form­ance and crit­ic­ally dis­cuss query res­ults and the asso­ci­ated costs.
