I am pleased to announce our integration with Snowflake. This is the second data warehouse we support, augmenting our existing Amazon Redshift data warehouse and our S3/Glue data lake offering.
Etleap lets you integrate all your company’s data into Snowflake, and transform and model it as necessary. The result is clean and well-structured data in Snowflake that is ready for high-performance analytics. Unlike traditional ETL tools, Etleap does not require engineering effort to create, maintain, and scale. Etleap provides sophisticated data error handling and comprehensive monitoring capabilities. Because it is delivered as a service, there is no infrastructure to maintain.
Like any other pipeline set up in Etleap, pipelines to Snowflake can extract from any of Etleap’s supported sources, including databases, web services, file stores, and event streams. Using Etleap’s interactive data wrangler, users have full control over how data is cleaned, structured, and de-identified before it is loaded into Snowflake. From there, Etleap’s native integration with Snowflake is designed to maximize flexibility for users in specifying attributes such as Snowflake schemas, roles, and cluster keys. Once the data is loaded, Etleap’s SQL-based modeling features can be used to further improve the usability and performance of the data for analytics.
Not only does Etleap’s integration with Snowflake provide a seamless user experience, it is also a natural fit technically. Etleap is built on AWS and stores extracted and transformed data in S3. Since Snowflake stores data in S3, loading data into Snowflake is fast and efficient. Architecturally, part of what differentiates Snowflake is its separate, elastic scaling of compute and storage resources. Etleap is built on the same principle, thus enabling it to overcome traditional bottlenecks in ETL by scaling storage and compute resources for extraction and transformation separately and elastically. By taking advantage of AWS building blocks we are able to provide a powerful yet uncomplicated data analytics stack for our customers.
Etleap is devoted to helping teams build data warehouses and data lakes on AWS, and we offer both hosted and in-VPC deployment options. Like Snowflake, Etleap takes advantage of AWS services such as S3 and EC2 to provide performance and cost benefits not possible with traditional ETL solutions.
As more and more teams building analytics infrastructure on AWS want to use Snowflake as their data warehouse, offering support for Snowflake was a natural next step for us.
