EDIT: I think the below is correct, but I’ve just seen in the main product landing page that for a certain benchmark it’s an order of magnitude cheaper AND faster than AWS glue, so that’s the target market by the looks of things.

I don’t think so - probably more in the realms of spark and, based on the roadmap, airflow.

For me it would be about doing big data analytics / dashboarding / ML or DS data prep.

My understanding is that Snowflake plays a lot in the data warehouse/lakehouse space, so is more central to data ops / cataloguing / SSOT type work.

But hey that’s all first impressions from the press release.
