QuestionQ143

Performance, Cost, and Resource Optimization

A company’s management has asked for insights into its Snowflake usage. An Architect must quickly create a reporting framework for a web application that stores data in JSON format.

How can this requirement be fulfilled with the LEAST operational overhead?

Explanation

Snowflake can load JSON natively into semi-structured types such as VARIANT without defining a schema in advance, and it supports direct SQL queries of nested JSON fields. Applying only the limited transformations required by the reports avoids the additional operational work of upfront schema design or normalization.
