Snowflake at it's most basic is SQL on cloud vms, anyone comfortable with SQL should feel at home there. That said, there are many Snowflake specific features that may take a bit to become familiar with. Just off the top of my head:
- hybrid RBAC, DAC, ABAC security model
- column, row level, and tag based access policies
- multi-account organizations
- cross-account and region data replication
- data shares
- external tables and specialized formats (iceberg, delta)
- pipes and streams
- snowpark API
- streamlit integration
