Snowflake becomes the fastest engine nobody chooses.

Every lab's agent sends Snowflake its heaviest queries. Its router picks you when you're cheapest that hour, and drops you when you're not.

OMNI: I adore your engine. I also adore the four others I tried this morning.

The Buyer: Amazon loves an engine. 1.8x revenue. You'll run quietly underneath S3, where nobody looks.
