Chaos engineering is fun but especially important when building solutions in the cloud. It is great leveraging the cloud to build something, whether that’s a globally distributed website with lots of traffic or an internal 3 tier application for a business – the question is – what happens is there is an unexpected fault / disruption? Can your system / app withstand the issue?
We all would like to save money when operating in the cloud, Microsoft has released a stop / start concept for SQL Managed Instances – preview mode!
This blog post is not about which User Interface is better, Classic or Snowsight – If anyone does want my feedback on what I like and don’t like about them then I might do another blog post but the aim here today is to show you how to load the classic one as the default experience because when you login to snowflake the snowsight UI is the default one..
Cloning is a powerful feature within snowflake (also known as zero copy clone). You can obviously clone at the database or schema level but also tables too. It’s a snapshot of the object when the clone was taken. Its uses pointers to reference back to the original database but it will have its own micro-partitions when you start updating the clone so that is a cost you will need to consider; they are separate objects.
Rarely do I say I love a feature across any technologies I have come across, in the snowflake world this is right up there.
