Snowflake With Rockset: How to Use Indexing For Sub-Second Queries

Snowflake is the leading cloud data warehouse, serving as the central repository for data in the enterprise. Although it has exceeded performance of most warehouses, it still takes seconds to return queries since it uses a columnar format. For user-facing analytics, particularly when embedding dashboards in SaaS applications, the performance requirements are in milliseconds.

An indexing approach optimizes for the low-latency, high-concurrency queries needed for user-facing analytics. It allows you to deliver sub-second queries with lesser compute. This tech talk is a practical guide to accelerating performance by indexing Snowflake data using Rockset.

  • Price-performance tradeoffs: which types of queries benefit from indexing, how to decide which datasets to index, how to measure your compute efficiency and query acceleration
  • Architecture overview: the fundamental differences between Snowflake’s columnar storage and Rockset’s Converged Indexing, and how they work together for different use cases
