ISBN: 9798193559856 - mastering snowflake: from cloud data warehousing to data engineering, snowpark, ai, analytics, and production-ready data platforms (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Modern data platforms must support analytics, continuous ingestion, complex transformations, governed data products, applications, and AI workloads that depend on trustworthy enterprise data. Snowflake provides a powerful foundation for these needs through separated storage and compute, elastic warehouses, and rich engineering capabilities. Turning those capabilities into reliable, efficient, and secure platforms requires more than syntax knowledge or feature familiarity. Mastering Snowflake teaches professionals how to design, build, optimize, secure, govern, and operate production-ready Snowflake data platforms. It treats Snowflake as an engineering environment. Readers learn how architecture, data modeling, ingestion, transformation, Snowpark, analytics, security, governance, performance, cost control, and AI integration work together as a coherent system. The focus is engineering judgment: understanding why an approach is appropriate, when it should be avoided, how it affects performance and cost, and what is required to keep it reliable in production. The book progresses from Snowflake's cloud-native architecture and the practical implications of storage, compute, and virtual warehouses into rigorous data modeling, including dimensional design, historical data handling, and the lasting importance of data shape for performance and usability. It examines micro-partitions, pruning, Time Travel, and zero-copy cloning, then moves into large-scale loading, continuous ingestion with Snowpipe, incremental processing with Streams and Tasks, and declarative transformation with Dynamic Tables. Data quality, idempotency, and operational observability are treated as design requirements.Transformation patterns develop into maintainable layered architectures and trusted analytical datasets. Snowpark is covered for Python-based workloads that need to process data close to where it resides. Analytical consumption, semantic structures, Streamlit applications, open table formats, and secure data sharing are addressed as governed interfaces. AI and machine learning are integrated as extensions of the data platform, covering Cortex-powered workflows, embeddings and retrieval, feature engineering, and the governance required for production use. Security and governance are presented as architectural foundations role-based access, masking, row-level policies, classification, and auditing. Performance engineering and cost optimization receive equal weight, with practical treatment of pruning, clustering, warehouse sizing, concurrency, and resource management. Later chapters cover environment separation, reliability, migration, scalability, and the patterns needed for production systems. The final chapter unifies these elements into an end-to-end production data and AI platform. Written for data engineers, architects, analytics engineers, software and cloud engineers, ML practitioners, database professionals, and technical leads, the book builds strong foundations while delivering the architectural depth and production judgment required by experienced practitioners. Readers finish able to evaluate trade-offs, design coherent platforms, implement reliable pipelines, control performance and cost, enforce governance, and evolve systems as requirements change. In an environment where data platforms must deliver analytics, engineering, and AI under real constraints of security, cost, and operational accountability, technical familiarity alone is not enough. This book develops the practical competence and architectural judgment required to turn Snowflake into a trustworthy, efficient, and maintainable foundation for modern data work.
