Snowflake optimizes cost and performance for customers by both minimizing TCO and continuously improving price for performance.

¹Based on internal Snowflake data from October 31, 2022 to October 31, 2023 for “Last 12 Months”, and from August 25, 2022 to October 31, 2023 for “All Time”. To calculate SPI, we identify a group of customer workloads that are stable and comparable in both amount of queries and data processed over the period presented. Reduction in query duration resulted from a combination of factors, including hardware and software improvements and customer optimizations.
