Who this book is for

Database modeling is a simple, yet foundational tool for enhancing communication and decision-making within enterprise teams and streamlining development. By pairing modeling-first principles with the specifics of Snowflake architecture, this book will serve as an effective tool for data engineers looking to build cost-effective Snowflake systems for business users looking for an easy way to understand them.

The three main personas who are the target audience of this content are as follows:

  • Data engineers: This book takes a Snowflake-centered approach to designing data models. It pairs universal modeling principles with unique architectural facets of the data cloud to help build performant and cost-effective solutions.
  • Data architects: While familiar with modeling concepts, many architects may be new to the Snowflake platform and are eager to learn and incorporate its best features into their designs for improved efficiency and maintenance.
  • Business analysts: Many analysts transition from business or functional roles and are cast into the world of data without a formal introduction to database best practices and modeling conventions. This book will give them the tools to navigate their data landscape and confidently create their own models and analyses.
