Snowflake is an American cloud data company founded in 2012 by former Oracle database architects and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. Its platform separates storage from compute so organisations can scale query power independently of data volume, run workloads across Amazon Web Services, Azure and Google Cloud, and share live datasets with partners without copying them. Originally a cloud data warehouse, it has expanded into data engineering, application development with Snowpark and Native Apps, and AI features through Cortex, and it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2020 in the largest software offering to that point.
