At #KafkaSummit Bangalore, Confluent CTO, Chad Verbowski, spoke about how legacy data platforms not only limit efficiency and scalability, but also makes managing data more costly. And now with widespread AI adoption, access to fast and accurate data is critical. Highly recommend reading more of Chad’s insights if you’re interested in learning more about data streaming’s business impact. https://lnkd.in/g44ag34r #DataStreaming #AI #RealTimeData

Lately, we have observed a transition from Cloud Databases(Snowflake etc) to Iceberg OpenLakehouse format. Ambaricloud team is working on Snowflake to Iceberg Automation and end-user training. Why: Low-cost computing. SF is still a favored engine for Gold layer data. Less stickiness. More engine options to run on Iceberg tables. Cloud storage Parquet files Iceberg table format Catalog Status: Polaris -- Started Walking. Hopefully, it will Jog or Run soon! UnitCatalog -- Infant Glue -- Safe bet for now. Comments?

So these 165 potentially identified companies didn’t have MFA or trusted locations on their SaaS logins…if it wasn’t turned on for Snowflake, how many of their other SaaS apps also didn’t have it enabled and possibly still don’t?  Do these companies, such as ticketmaster, even know what SaaS apps are being accessed by their end user estate? And finally, why are the SaaS apps not forcing MFA as standard or helping to limit access to their systems as part of the supply chain problem?

The speed at which these models improve is staggering, so is the cost to build them. Only way to keep up is to leverage principles such as AWS Bedrock so you have the flexibility you need to quickly select the model that works best for your task. https://lnkd.in/gNAR63YC https://lnkd.in/g_FtP6e9

Fantastic to see our good friend Dash Desai walk through an example of how to build sophisticated apps in Snowflake with RelationalAI Our goal at RelationalAI has always been to power every decision with intelligence and enable users to do more with less effort. Thanks to our partnership with Snowflake and our deep integration with the AI Data Cloud, that has never been simpler. The best has yet to come, stay tuned! #RelationalAI #KnowledgeGraphs #Snowflake #AIDataCloud

As a Snowflake Alum, I was initially nervous with Snowflake's seemingly late entry into the Generative AI race. But my initial doubts have turned into enthusiasm lately as Snowflake's strategy appears to be taking shape. From its very beginning, everything Snowflake has introduced has been geared toward efficiency and ease of use, and it's clearly no different with their efforts in the Generative AI space. The true promise of Gen AI is not whether or not it can do your child's homework, but how it can be integrated into everyday business activities that drive growth and efficiency. With the launch of Arctic, Snowflake's vision for the future of Generative AI is becoming much clearer.

Last week, Google published a very exciting Q3 earnings report, evidencing the fact that Google Cloud is the fastest growing cloud hyperscaler. I believe the accelerated growth and momentum we have demonstrated is the result of a few important factors: 1. We have been investing in AI for many years already. This means that not only is AI embedded in a lot of our products, but it is an integral part of our DNA. 2. Google Cloud's approach of offering a diverse range of first-party, third-party, and open-source models giving our customers the option of choosing the model that works best for them, their growth and their success. 3. We have a powerful and reliable infrastructure, which empowers our customers to innovate faster, reduce costs, and achieve greater scalability and reliability in their cloud-based solutions. 4. And of course, none of this would be possible without the Googlers who make this happen. I am honored to get to work closely with the Israel team, and their passion and drive to continuously build innovative products for our customers is inspiring.

Really interesting read on the evolution of Data Warehouses, Data Lakes and Lake Houses and how Databricks and Snowflake are battling for the top spot. https://lnkd.in/egg4P5VG This is one of the more complete analysis I've seen on the evolution of the analytics space and it's big gorilla's. In the end, it gets into the AI discussion of big LLM's vs. small models and how SLM's will have a place in the analytics world, which I completely agree with.
