๐ Other Serverless Features
Snowflake offers several advanced compute-enhancing services (at additional cost), typically suited for complex workloads or specific use cases.
A few examples:
- Search Optimization Service (SOS) โ Creates additional indexes to speed up queries with low-selectivity filters
- Query Acceleration Service (QAS) โ Dynamically adds compute resources to accelerate complex queries
- Multi-cluster Warehouses โ Automatically scales compute to meet high concurrency demands
โ These features can significantly improve performance, but they are optional and should be used only when you fully understand the workload and cost trade-offs. Start small, monitor the impact and scale up cautiously.
