Key benefits

  • Learn core modeling techniques tied to practical examples using native Snowflake architecture
  • Adopt a universal modeling language to communicate business value to functional teams
  • Go beyond physical modeling with SQL recipes to transform and shape your Snowflake data

Description

The Snowflake Data Cloud is one of the fastest-growing platforms for data warehousing and application workloads. Snowflake's scalable, cloud-native architecture and expansive set of features and objects enables you to deliver data solutions quicker than ever before. Yet, we must ensure that these solutions are developed using recommended design patterns and accompanied by documentation that’s easily accessible to everyone in the organization. This book will help you get familiar with simple and practical data modeling frameworks that accelerate agile design and evolve with the project from concept to code. These universal principles have helped guide database design for decades, and this book pairs them with unique Snowflake-native objects and examples like never before – giving you a two-for-one crash course in theory as well as direct application. By the end of this Snowflake book, you’ll have learned how to leverage Snowflake’s innovative features, such as time travel, zero-copy cloning, and change-data-capture, to create cost-effective, efficient designs through time-tested modeling principles that are easily digestible when coupled with real-world examples.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers working with SQL who are looking to build a strong foundation in modeling best practices and gain an understanding of where they can be effectively applied to save time and effort. Whether you’re an ace in SQL logic or starting out in database design, this book will equip you with the practical foundations of data modeling to guide you on your data journey with Snowflake. Developers who’ve recently discovered Snowflake will be able to uncover its core features and learn to incorporate them into universal modeling frameworks.

Data modeling has been partially forgotten in the cloud data warehouse scenario and now making a legendary comeback. At the same time, data professionals have been raving about Snowflake Data Cloud.This book offers a clear and practical approach to understanding the combo: data modeling within the Snowflake realm. From fundamental principles to real examples, it's a must-have resource for both beginners and experienced professionals.The author is a good writer. He does a fantastic job explaining hard technical concepts in an easy-to-read & understandable format. We need more educational materials like this.Highly recommended!

Not being from a technical background, this book explains data modeling, the importance of it and the process and an understandable way. I was able to really learn and take in a lot of information, and I did not feel overwhelmed as I had expected to. Great read!

If you’re like me, you are still working hard to ensure an in-depth understanding of data modeling and how it applies to a powerful platform like Snowflake. This book will take you from feeling somewhat aware of the concept of data modeling to having the confidence of a seasoned cloud data modeler.Serge’s writing is exceptionally deft, taking the reader on a journey from basic-necessity knowledge to in-depth and direct knowledge that only the experts would think of. The important message of this book is that there is a powerful way to ensure the success of your investment in the cloud, and it has been around since the beginning of relational modeling. Use this book as your comprehensive guide to learn and apply all there is to know about database modeling to make your Snowflake platform thrive.

The best data modeling books are decades old, (and they are 100% still worth reading). This book condenses those books and shows how to apply these techniques to cloud data warehouses. Even though it's written for Snowflake, 95% of this book is applicable to other cloud data warehouses.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
