“Snowpark lets us enhance our customers’ experience, delivering accelerated query performance and greater scalability for business intelligence and data science teams working on the Snowflake Data Cloud.”
The AtScale semantic layer provides BI analysts and data scientists with a business-oriented, virtualized view of data within cloud data platforms that can be accessed through applications like PowerBI, Excel, Tableau and DataRobot. As organizations accelerate migrations to the Snowflake Data Cloud, the ability for BI and data science teams to maintain consistent logical views and high performance access is critical.
AtScale and Snowflake are a proven combination in production with leading enterprise organizations globally. Now with Snowpark and Java UDFs, AtScale can execute complex, resource intensive dimensional analysis natively within the Snowflake Data Cloud, delivering optimal performance and resource utilization. AtScale’s initial implementation includes:
- Pushdown calculation of semi-additive and non-additive metrics, including distinct counts and quantiles, at 10x performance
- Translation of BI query protocols, including MDX, DAX, and SQL, to queries pushed down to Snowflake with no data extraction or movement
- Dynamically generating intelligent aggregations with automatic query routing – enabling self-optimizing query performance
