Connected Apps or Managed Apps: Which Model to Implement?

We recently wrote about the interest we’re seeing in connected applications that are built on Snowflake.

The same is true for your data: if you don’t have the infrastructure that supports your customer 360 initiatives , those initiatives become moot.

Of Muffins and Machine Learning Models

While it is a little dated, one amusing example that has been the source of countless internet memes is the famous, “is this a chihuahua or a muffin?” classification problem.
