Capital One Software at the Snowflake Summit

Date/Time: June 3, 3:00 p.m. PT

Session details: Many users will compose complex queries as their organization scales Snowflake, but these queries are not always optimized for cost and performance. Having adopted Snowflake in 2017, Capital One has years of experience optimizing its own queries—at scale, across business teams—to both reduce cost and improve performance. In this talk, we’ll tap into this experience to share tips and tricks for users looking to optimize queries based on various use cases.

Session Details: At Capital One, our enterprise data platforms enable associates to produce and consume data through self-service. In this talk, we’ll present how our "you build, your data" approach helps associates innovate by using data at their own pace, including sharing best practices companies can consider to build their own data platforms. Join to learn more about our three-layer stack: a real-time publishing and streaming platform, a cloud-based lake and a consumption layer. We will also share how we enable the consumption layer leveraging open table formats (Delta, Iceberg) and how a common set of metadata contracts enable producers to make data available to consumers through self-service.
