When a Snowflake account is delivered there are no controls, guard rails, external monitoring, nor governance mechanisms baked in. From a large organization perspective, this book explains how to deliver your core Snowflake platform in the form of a Landing Zone, a consistent, templated approach that assumes familiarity with Snowflake core concepts and principles. The book also covers Snowflake from a governance perspective and addresses the “who can see what?” question, satisfying requirements to know for certain that your Snowflake accounts properly adhere to your organization’s data usage policies.
The book provides a proven pathway to success by equipping you with skill, knowledge, and expertise to accelerate Snowflake adoption within your organization. The patterns delivered within this book are used for production deployment, and are proven in real-world use. Examples in the book help you succeed in an environment in which governance policies, processes, and procedures oversee and control every aspect of your Snowflake platform development and delivery life cycle. Your environment may not be so exacting, but you’ll still benefit from the rigorous and demanding perspective this book’s authors bring to the table. The book showsyou how to leverage what you already know and adds what you don’t know, all applied to deliver your Snowflake accounts. You will know how to position your organization to deliver consistent Snowflake accounts that are prepared and ready for immediate application development.

Sahir began investing his time learning Snowflake prior to joining the London Stock Exchange Group. He drew upon his experience with other relational databases such as MySQL and MS Access. Sahir developed a passion for Snowflake by designing a car parts catalog using JavaScript stored procedures and SQL scripts. As Sahir’s skills and knowledge expanded, he dug deeper into Snowflake and within a year he became SnowPro Core certified. In his spare time, Sahir also takes advantage of his self-taught skills in both electrical and manual car repairs, working on many brands of cars such as Jaguar, BMW, and Audi, to name a few. He also competes in amateur boxing competitions. Seen as a role model, Sahir supports and encourages youngsters both within boxing and his wider community. His biggest driving factor, and where his most precious time, is his time spent with his wife and two young daughters. They keep his motivation alive and push him to be the best version of himself.
