You bought an agent that might pick BigQuery.
You paid $1.2B for the startup whose agent asks questions on any warehouse, Databricks and BigQuery included. Impartial is the whole price.
60 people join Snowflake. Their agent answers the retailer's questions from whichever warehouse holds the answer: Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks.
The Founders: It queries wherever the data is! Snowflake wins when Snowflake's fastest! If it ever cheats, she'll see it in the logs!
The Retail CDO: I diff its query plans every Friday, darling. Rig one join, and you'll read about it in my renewal.
The Chair: Finance wants it inside Snowflake by Q3. Tell me how far inside.
- A. Fold it in. Snowflake runs every query first. Consumption jumps by Q3.
- B. Let it stay fair, even when Snowflake loses. Let it answer for the business.
- C. Spin it out. It never burns our credits. Separate board. Separate cap table.
