"The goal was to create a data pipeline to pull all that data into Snowflake [and then] everything's in Snowflake and it's easy to manage. [It] reduces or entirely removes the complexity of managing your transactional data," said Carl Perry, director of product management at Snowflake in 2022.
Michael Scarpelli mentioned at the Goldman Sachs gathering that he did not see users migrating data from their Snowflake data warehouse systems to Unistore, stating, "It's more for net new workloads that are transactional in nature but have heavy data volumes and querying that's needed in that data."
Scarpelli explained the delay in making Unistore commercially available, noting, "They've had targets, and they've been working on cost structure to get it so that it was going to be margin positive," underscoring the challenges in aligning development costs with commercial viability.
He added, "One of the reasons it has taken so long is no one has ever done this before... it was not easy from a technical standpoint," highlighting the unprecedented nature of the technological goals set for Unistore.
