Hi Can you suggest any Certification is available for snowflake?Any lab access for snowflake handson? |
Snowflake does offer certifications, Find more details are on their site. |
Hi Naveen,Thanks for your reply.What would be best option to learn Snowflake with hands on?I have good experience in ETL planing to switch the carrier into snowflake..Can you please suggest the options to started getting into snowflake? |
You can get started with the free course on copycoding. Since you are into ETL, I assume you might have some prior experience in any of the MPP databases. You should be able to pick up snowflake easily. But if you want to do some hands-on, i am afraid there is no easy way to do it. The trial on the snowflake site is for companies and not developers. Ill very soon spin up a Snowflake instance for developers to learn / practice. I might bundle it with some kind of product / course. So keep an eye on the site for updates |
Hi Naveen,Hope you are doing good.Did you get a chance to create a Snowflake instance for developers to learn/practice? |
@Karthikb127 Thanks for checking out. I dont have one planned yet. Will definitely keep you in the loop on any updates |
Hi I am from ETL back ground and had 6.5 years of exp on ETL.Currently I was looking for other opportunities and technologies.I was bit confused whether to go for Hadoop and spark or In to Snow flake. If you suggest it will be great help for me to jump in. |
Hadoop is dead. Industry is moving away from hadoop to more disruptive cloud platforms. Get yourself into one of the cloud data warehouse, it has very small learning curve and lot of companies are adopting them, so good career prospects |
Hi @npack, Can you please help in bit elaborate since I am also sailing in same boat.I had read some articles in the past like top level companies are using Big-data technologies very much like Facebook using Hive and spark,where Linked in using Nifi and Kafka much,where Netflix using spark and Kafka much.I was thinking Big data is Next-gen technology. specifically to handle unstructured Data like Logs,pdf,.jpg,audio file and I am also seeing Snowflake also they are using Spark-connectors.I just know at high level Big-data technology has some shortcomings Like Hive is not as like ETL tool even many companies they are using Hadoop as just archive system... |
I definitely agree that the companies you mentioned are still using Hadoop. But cloud data warehousing is one of the disruptive technologies. Cloud data warehousing is cheap to set up, reliable, easy to maintain and requires comparatively less skilled resources to build and maintain. (whereas Hadoop is just the opposite). For instance snowflake is growing at 300% a year whereas hortonworks is struggling to survive. Set aside Facebook or Netflix, have you heard of anyone Else saying they are going to erect a new Hadoop cluster, No, all new data warehouses are built on the cloud. |
I am having 8 Years experience in DWH Testing and SQL. Can you suggest is it good for me career change. what are skill required to become a snowflake developer. can u guide me how i became snowflake developer. thanks in advance |
@sreenu Snowflake is rapidly growing in market share. And lots of companies are moving from on-premise to Cloud based solutions. Its the right time to upskill and switch over to Snowflake. You can start with this free course mentioned in this article. I am working on next level advanced course as well. keep an eye for it |
