Snowflake Summit Session Recaps

Expert sessions

Date/Time: Wednesday, June 28, 4 PM

Session Details: Gone are the days when your data costs were fixed. The wrong decision can cost you—big time. In many cases, these avoidable costs are generated by user decisions, limiting business value from your data platform. For example, you can write the same query two different ways and get the same results, but one could cost you 20 cents and another 20 dollars. You may also frequently load data when access is infrequent. In this session, we’ll identify five inefficiencies and share best practices for improvement.

Speakers: 

  • Salim Syed, VP and Head of Slingshot Engineering 
  • Ganesh Bharathan, Director, Data Engineering

Session Details: To unleash the power of your data, you need to empower your team. Data analysts and scientists should be able to quickly find and use data, enabling them to create new analyses and insights that drive business value. But at the same time, how can you manage both data security risk and costs? In this session, we’ll share how a sloped governance approach can help build an experience that empowers teams to unleash your Snowflake data, while adhering to enterprise standards. Attendees will also learn how Capital One implemented a data sandbox environment using sloped governance.

Speakers: 

  • Nagender Gurram, Sr. Director, Software Engineering
