Snowflake

Snowflake is the leading cloud data platform. With Snowpipe Streaming, they have moved beyond batch loading. This API allows you to write rows directly to Snowflake tables with low latency, bypassing the need to stage files in S3 buckets first.

Why use it in EDA? It bridges the gap between "Operational" EDA and "Analytical" Data Warehousing. It ensures that the events happening in your apps are available to your data scientists and business analysts almost instantly, breaking down the silo between "App Dev" and "BI".
