Not even Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the world wide web, could have predicted the pace or breadth of its expansion over the last 30 years. Once, the web was only accessible via clunky desktop computers: today, it can also be reached from laptops, tablets, mobile phones and even smartwatches. What’s more, consumers want native apps that are unique to a particular platform and they expect updates to be provided seamlessly.

The potential of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) for enterprises is massive. We’ve talked about this opportunity before and at Summit 2023, we announced a number of capabilities that come together to help our customers bring generative AI and LLMs directly to their proprietary data, all delivered through a single, secure platform.

At Snowflake, we’re helping data scientists, data engineers, and application developers build faster and more efficiently in the Data Cloud. That’s why at our annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2023, we unveiled new features that further extend data programmability in Snowflake for their language of choice, without having to compromise on governance.

Quality assurance is a crucial differentiator in today's software marketplace. Gartner reports, "48% of software engineering leaders say customer or user satisfaction are among the top three objectives they are measured on." (Source: 2022 Gartner Software Engineering Leaders Role Survey). In essence, software quality directly influences customer satisfaction. A cornerstone in ensuring such quality is regression testing.

XCUITest and Espresso are great mobile test automation frameworks that teams can use to run parallel tests. Learn how sharding with each framework can help you accelerate mobile app testing with Sauce Labs.

The mobile app development process is complex and requires continuous monitoring and improvement. Mobile CI/CD enables developers to automate the entire mobile app development process — making it faster and more efficient.

Harmonya relies on BigQuery to build and maintains data pipelines and train and serve machine learning models for its product enrichment service.

At Snowflake Summit 2022, we introduced a new way of building apps with the Snowflake Native App Framework. Today, we are excited to bring the power of the Snowflake Native App Framework to developers around the world with the public preview in AWS. Developers can now start building and testing Snowflake Native Apps in their accounts in AWS. Distribution and monetization capabilities will be available in public preview on AWS later this year.

Containers have emerged as the modern approach to package code in any language to ensure portability and consistency across environments, especially for sophisticated AI/ML models and full-stack data-intensive apps. These types of modern data products frequently deal with massive amounts of proprietary data.

Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes once said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” He was right. When you intelligently use the right tools, you can move worlds and accomplish what on the surface seems impossible. Right now, developers are doing the impossible—building applications in record time that truly transform industries, improve business processes, and unlock radical productivity.
