Can you please share few real time used cases with Snowflake cloud data

Snowflake claims they do support real time ingestion of streaming data. I am not familiar with any real time consumption use cases, like running a web api. IMO Snowflake is more of a analytics system and less of a transactional system

Does it required any prior DWH experience like informatica or datastage. i dont have both. i have experience on SQL and knowledge on DWH> how is the job scope in india.

Since you already have SQL Background, I would say you are one step ahead. Its very easy to learn and pickup Snowflake. Not to mention Snowflake is growing huge, Its gaining popularity and has acquired lots of new customers.

Hi Naveen,\n\nMany thanks for your episodes on SnowFlake, they are very precise and easy to understand. \n\nI have been working DWH, Big Data for past 15 years and planning to switch to Snowflake and Cloud. \n\nKindly help us in sharing real use cases with Snowflake.\n\nCan i have your personal email/contact sent to my email: n.maddineni.rao@gmail.com to discuss my need in more detail?\n\nThank you,\nNagesh

Thanks very much for the feedback @nmaddineni

@pramakrishna89  You are welcome. What kind of videos would you like me to cover ?

Tips on creating Stored Procedures can help !

@Rhea7 Sure, The problem is writing stored procedures in Java or python. I wish they come up with SQL support. The plan is cover basic topics like ddl, dml, dcl operations first, followed by advanced topics

thanks Naveen for this introduction. We are on SSIS/Cognos reporing stack till date and building the entire system in Attunity/Snowflake/PowerBI stack on Microsoft Azure.

these videos gave the introduction and as you mentioned above it will be great if you can give a pointer for advanced topics like stored procs or any other entities we can use in Snowflake.

I recently did AWS associate developer certification so can u please tell me doing snowflake  certification will be helpful for me to get a job.

Snowflake Certification would be a value add for sure, Although not a deal maker. If you have strong SQL Fundamentals and good working knowledge in Snowflake. You should try giving a job interview

Hello Naveen,

I just completed this course of yours on Udemy. It was a very informative course. Thank you for your wonderful time and effort for creating such.

I wanted to know, as you mentioned in that course, are you having a more detailed training course on the same. If yes, I would really look forward to enrol in the same (also if there are any paid courses).

I'll just drop my email id "aakashsampleacc@gmail.com", can you share the details to it if you have any. Or any recommendations to get in-dept knowledge & training on Snowflake.

Thank you?

Hi Naveen,

I am amazed by your work. The way you have constructed the course is really awesome. Please come with some more videos.

Happy to participate in case you think I can help you in anyway.
