Snowflake Optimization Power Hour

Date
  • Ian Whitestone
    Co-founder & CEO of SELECT

In this presentation, I do a dive deep into Snowflake’s architecture, the lifecycle of a query, how to use the query profile, optimal warehouse configuration, table clustering and micro-partition pruning. We also get into query best practices & anti-patterns - including some fun things like how to optimize range joins.
