Initial achievements included adoption by large enterprise clients and expansion across multiple cloud providers.
The expansion phase involved entry into international markets, addition of capabilities for data engineering and data governance, and the evolution of a broader ecosystem integrating corporate applications, data-sharing frameworks, and artificial-intelligence tools. Growth was further supported by an expanding network of strategic partners.
Key milestones include the 2020 initial public offering (IPO), considered one of the largest technology IPOs of the decade, along with the expansion of the Snowflake Data Cloud product and the development of additional interoperability layers for multicloud environments.
Between 2020 and 2024, relevant developments included increased adoption of artificial-intelligence-driven technologies, broader machine-learning capabilities, operational cost adjustments amid macroeconomic volatility, strengthened partnerships with global technology companies, and positive evolution in recurring-revenue metrics. These factors influenced operational performance and competitive dynamics throughout the period.
