Snowpark Quick Start

This session aims to provide the attendees with an overview of Snowpark with its benefits for Data Engineering and Data Science workloads. The hands-on lab provides a turn-key environment to explore the Snowpark API capabilities in the Scala language by going through simple TPC-H queries examples showcasing projections, aggregations, joins, filtering using the Snowpark API. The Quick Start demonstrates the ability to push down server side complex transformations using Scala functions as Snowflake UDFs. The lab also explores additional capabilities such as the generation of synthetic data by invoking Snowflake built-in functions through the Snowpark API. and the use of windowing functions which can be handy for analytics on dimensional data, or time series analysis.
