Snowflake Ranks First as “Next Database to Use” — Importance of Data Infrastructure Grows in the Age of Generative AI
Published
An event for Japanese IT engineers, “db tech showcase,” was held. This year’s theme was “DB First, AI Next.” This means that before using AI, it is important to first prepare data infrastructure such as databases.
In recent years, the boom in generative AI has continued. Amid this, attention has been focused on how to collect and manage the data that AI uses. At the event, the importance of data infrastructure was once again called into question.
In a published survey, “Snowflake” ranked first as the database that people want to use in the future. Snowflake is a service that allows large amounts of data to be stored and analyzed in the cloud. The survey also found a movement to reconsider previously used databases, showing that older technologies are being re-evaluated.
Furthermore, the event also addressed how Japanese engineers should build their careers by making use of their strengths. Data infrastructure technology serves as the foundation that supports generative AI. Going forward, attention will be focused on how companies and engineers acquire knowledge of data management.
