Snowflake is the first analytic database natively designed and built for the cloud. It is delivered in the form of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Compared to traditional databases, Snowflake is generally faster, easier to use, and more flexible. The Chapter 2 introduces the basic features of the Snowflake Cloud Data platform. It provides an overview of the various Snowflake editions, cloud platforms, and regions where it can be hosted. It also reviews the different ways you can interact with Snowflake, including the web user interface, command-line interface, and connectors. So that you can use your Snowflake account with the practice examples presented in subsequent chapters, this chapter also reviews a brief initial setup.

The main functionalities of Snowflake are data storage, data processing such as loading and unloading, and analytic solutions that can be accomplished via SQL queries or supported programming languages. Additionally, Snowflake provides features of traditional databases, including user authentication and authorization, data protection, high availability, and performance optimization.

Since Snowflake runs completely on cloud infrastructure, a Snowflake account can be hosted on any of the following cloud platforms:

- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Microsoft Azure (Azure)
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
