Getting Started with Snowflake

Snowflake utilizes the cloud to provide data warehousing as a service. While data traditionally resides in disparate systems, Snowflake puts data into their cloud based data warehouse for functional, easy analysis and longer term storage. Their unique architecture supports unstructured, semi-structured and structured data.  

So, where should you begin with Snowflake? We’ve compiled a list of resources that give a little more information on Snowflake, and how to get started on the platform.
