How Snowflake builds its own tools on its own platform Snowflake runs on Snowflake: called Snow House internally.“ Probably 60 % of our stack is built on Snowflake. The stuff that’ s not would be things you’ d expect: horizontal global tools that no one wants to rebuild from scratch anyway.”
Even when Snowflake uses thirdparty tools, these are extended with Snowflake. Take its onboarding system, Lift. The core might be Workday, but“ all of those extensions were built with Snowflake,” Mike says.“ It literally is our core toolset for building new applications for the enterprise.”
Now, Snowflake is building AI agents internally and rolling them into its products.“ Some of the AI agents we’ re writing, we’ re putting into Snowflake Intelligence. Some of those will become public – not all of them will – but certainly our customers can learn from what we’ re doing, and we want to learn from what they’ re doing as well.”
