Snowflake, Data, & AI

Snowflake provides three purpose-built features for exactly this: Automatic Clustering, Search Optimization Service, and Zero-Copy Cloning. Each solves a distinct problem. Understanding when to use which, and what each one actually costs, is where most teams find meaningful savings.

Claroda has earned the Snowflake Cortex Code Preferred Partner Badge, awarded to a select group of partners globally who demonstrate verified, production-grade expertise with Cortex Code across multiple customer environments and use cases.

Cortex AI changes one thing: where AI runs. It brings AI directly into Snowflake, where your data already exists. No movement. No duplication. No extra layer.

This article walks through four real engineering scenarios where Cortex Code significantly reduced manual effort while improving visibility into the data environment.

For years, cloud data platforms followed a predictable pattern: store data, export it to ML tools, build models elsewhere, then re-import results. That architecture created latency, security gaps, and mounting operational overhead. Over the last several years, Snowflake has systematically dismantled that model, not through marketing repositioning, but through deliberate platform engineering. The result is an environment where data preparation, model training, inference, and a

This guide breaks down Snowflake's access control framework from the ground up, covering the underlying models, built-in roles, best practices, and hands-on examples to help you build a secure, scalable permission structure for your team.

Zero-copy cloning is a technique that allows data to be “cloned” or duplicated without physically copying the underlying stored data.

One of the most important components of Snowflake’s architecture is the Virtual Warehouse. In this blog, we explore what virtual warehouses are, how they work internally, and why they are essential for efficient data processing.

Understanding how Snowflake differs from traditional data platforms helps organizations evaluate solutions that align with scalability, performance, governance, and innovation goals. This article explains the architectural, operational, and functional differences that distinguish modern cloud-native platforms.
