One of the key features of Snowflake’s architecture is its unique approach to eliminating resource contention through the use of virtual warehouses. This is achieved by separating storage and compute resources, allowing multiple virtual warehouses to operate independently on the same data without affecting each other. This means that different workloads, such as loading data, running queries, or performing complex analytics, can be processed simultaneously without any performance degradation due to resource contention.
