Snowflake Unistore
Unite transactional and analytical data in a single database, with Snowflake security and governance capabilities built in. No separate systems. No data movement required.
Overview
Unify your data to simplify your operations
Run transactional workloads directly in Snowflake right alongside your analytics.
Eliminate separate databases
Retire siloed transactional databases and the ETL pipelines between them.
Centralize governance and security
Apply one governance and security model to every row, whether it’s written by an app or read by an analyst.
Join app and analytical data in one query
Query transactional and analytical data in the same statement without replication or waiting for data to land.
How It Works
One database for the apps that write data and the teams that analyze it
Unistore’s hybrid tables store your data so you can handle fast, row-level reads and writes natively in Snowflake.
They work alongside your existing Snowflake tables, and you can query across both in a single statement.
