Snowflake Optimizes
Cost & Performance
Snowflake optimizes cost and performance for customers by both minimizing TCO and continuously improving price for performance.
¹Based on internal Snowflake data from August 25, 2022 to April 30, 2023. To calculate SPI, we identify a group of customer workloads that are stable and comparable in both amount of queries and data processed over the period presented. Reduction in query duration resulted from a combination of factors, including hardware and software improvements and customer optimizations.
