Snowflake Summit Recap

We are excited to announce that LaunchDarkly is an official Snowflake Marketplace partner. We have our first listing on the Snowflake Marketplace that is in early-access for customers. 

As part of our new partnership, this was the first year the LaunchDarkly team attended Snowflake Summit and took part in the discussion on the Data Cloud. Product and software development are increasingly reliant on data. At LaunchDarkly, we’re in a unique position to follow these trends and collaborate with the team at Snowflake to help teams measure the impact of their software releases. 

Here are a few of our major takeaways from the conference. 

AI/ML

The conference kicked off with a keynote between the CEO of Snowflake, Frank Slootman, and his counterpart at Nvidia, Jensen Huang. The two discussed bringing Nvidia’s AI platform to run natively on Snowflake. Customers are able to take advantage of all the R&D that Nvidia has done around AI and bring it directly to the data hosted on Snowflake. LaunchDarkly is a Snowflake customer, so we’re excited to explore ways that we can leverage these new capabilities to best serve our customers. 

Partner Summit

Krishnan Parasuraman, Snowflake’s VP Head of Global Field CTO, announced a number of initiatives focused on collaboration with Snowflake partners around co-innovation. Areas such as Snowpark, their application development platform, are an exciting opportunity for our team to collaborate with Snowflake to create solutions for our shared customers. We also got to spend time with our partners Census, Snowplow, and Heap as well as many new partners we’re looking forward to welcoming to our ecosystem. 

Native Apps

One of the biggest innovations that we’ve seen from Snowflake is in their Native Apps. These are applications that partners can develop to run natively within a customer’s Snowflake data warehouse. These native apps open up a lot of possibilities for how teams can track and measure the impact of their feature releases—we’re already working with Snowflake to deliver value to customers through this exciting capability.
