Snowflake’s Architecture
With Big Data, Snowflake's architecture offers for greater flexibility. Snowflake separates the storage and compute tasks, so businesses that need a lot of storage but don't need a lot of CPU cycles, or vice versa, don't have to pay for an integrated package that includes both. Users can scale up or down according to their needs, and only pay for the resources they utilise. Storage is charged in terabytes per month, whereas computation is charged per second.
In fact, the Snowflake architecture consists of three layers, each of which is independently scalable: -
Database Storage
All data imported into Snowflake, including structured and semi-structured data, is stored in the database storage layer. Snowflake maintains all aspects of data storage, including organisation, file size, structure, compression, metadata, and analytics, automatically. This storage layer is unaffected by the availability of compute resources.
Compute Layer
Virtual warehouses execute data processing activities necessary for queries in the compute layer. Each virtual warehouse (or cluster) can access all the data in the storage layer and then work independently, eliminating the need for the warehouses to share or compete for computing resources. This provides nondisruptive, automated scaling, which implies that computing resources can increase without having to redistribute or rebalance data in the storage layer while queries are ongoing.
Cloud Services
The cloud services layer organises the entire system and uses ANSI SQL. It reduces the requirement for data warehouse management and tuning to be done manually. This layer contains the following services:
- Authentication
- Infrastructure administration
- Management of metadata
- Query optimization and parsing
- Control of access

Top 5 Benefits of Snowflake
Performance and speed
Because of the cloud's elasticity, you can scale up your virtual warehouse to take advantage of more compute resources if you need to load data faster or perform a large number of queries. After that, you can shrink the virtual warehouse and only pay for the time you used it.
Storage and support for structured and semi-structured data
For analysis, you can aggregate structured and semi-structured data and load it into a cloud database without first converting or transforming it into a set relational schema. Snowflake enhances the way data is stored and queried automatically.
Concurrency and accessibility
When too many queries compete for resources in a typical data warehouse with a high number of users or use cases, you may suffer concurrency difficulties (such as delays or failures).
Seamless data sharing
Snowflake's innovative multi cluster architecture addresses concurrency issues: queries from one virtual warehouse never influence queries from another, and each virtual warehouse may scale up or down as needed. Without having to wait for other loading and processing processes to finish, data analysts and data scientists may acquire what they need when they need it.
Availability and Security
Snowflake's architecture allows users to share data with one another. It also enables businesses to share data with anyone, whether or not they are a Snowflake customer, via reader accounts that can be created straight from the user interface. The provider can use this feature to create and maintain a Snowflake account for a customer.
