Ask HN: What's so special about Snowflake?

I have followed the technology industry pretty closely (or so I thought) for the last 20 years. When Snowflake had their IPO and the stock when through the roof, I was shocked.

1. Because of the stock performance

2. Because I'd never even heard of them

Following the threads on HN, it seemed like a lot of other people were just as confused.

Can anybody explain it to me?
