K3 for Snowflake leverages the platform’s ability to compartmentalize its processing capacity from its storage function, making it the perfect combination for customers employing K3 for Google Cloud. Like our own brains, Snowflake’s “subconscious” mind keeps track of all the “passive” data reposing in the warehouse. You don’t need it at the moment, but you don’t want to lose it either.
Suddenly, you need to process and make calculations involving a few thousand rows and columns of that dormant data! Snowflake’s conscious mind springs to action, collecting the pertinent information and devoting the necessary digital neurons to K3 data prep and processing.
