Zero-Copy Cloning:
Snowflake introduces a powerful and efficient way to create copies of data through zero-copy cloning. Instead of duplicating the entire dataset, Snowflake creates a virtual copy that shares the same underlying data, reducing storage costs and accelerating the cloning process. This is particularly beneficial for scenarios where multiple development or testing environments need identical datasets.

Automatic Scaling:
Snowflake's auto-scaling capabilities allow it to adapt dynamically to varying workloads. Whether it's a sudden surge in user activity or increased data processing requirements, Snowflake automatically adjusts the compute resources to meet the demand. This not only optimizes performance but also helps in cost management by ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently.
