Is Snowflake a tool or a database?

The question is about Snowflake

Answer:

Snowflake is not just a traditional database but an overall cloud-based data platform. This integrates the functions of the data warehouse, data lake, and data-sharing platform into one place, which allows scalable data storage, processing, and analytics. While Snowflake operates as a relational database for structured and semi-structured data, it also has a set of tools for querying, managing, and analyzing data in real-time. Its multi-cloud architecture enables seamless integration with other cloud services and tools, making it comprehensive in modern data operations.
