Reference Architectures1
Stacks3
Modern Data Stack (ELT)
Cloud-native ELT pattern: managed ingestion loads raw data into a warehouse, where dbt transforms it and a BI tool serves analytics.
Snowflake + Fivetran + Looker
A fully managed cloud analytics stack: Fivetran ingests data, Snowflake stores and transforms it, and Looker serves governed BI on top.
dbt + Amazon Redshift
An ELT analytics stack where data lands in Amazon Redshift and dbt transforms it with version-controlled, tested SQL models.
Comparisons6
Snowflake vs BigQuery
Cloud-agnostic data warehouse with decoupled compute versus Google's fully serverless analytics warehouse.
Snowflake vs Redshift
Cloud-agnostic warehouse with auto-scaling compute versus Amazon Redshift's AWS-native MPP data warehouse.
BigQuery vs Redshift
Google's fully serverless analytics warehouse versus Amazon Redshift's AWS-native MPP warehouse.
Databricks vs Snowflake
Lakehouse platform built on Spark and Delta Lake versus Snowflake's cloud data warehouse, now converging on shared use cases.
Data Lake vs Data Warehouse
A data lake stores raw data of any type cheaply; a data warehouse stores structured, modeled data for fast analytics. They serve different stages and users.
ETL vs ELT
ETL transforms data before loading it; ELT loads raw data first and transforms inside the destination. Cloud warehouses have made ELT increasingly common.
Benchmarks3
TPC-H
An ad-hoc decision-support benchmark of 22 complex analytical queries over a star-like schema, reporting query throughput and power at fixed scale factors.
TPC-DS
A modern decision-support benchmark with 99 queries over a multi-snowflake retail schema, designed to stress complex analytics, data loading, and concurrency.
Star Schema Benchmark (SSB)
A simplified TPC-H derivative using a classic star schema and 13 queries in four flights to measure data-warehouse query performance.
