Snowflake Load Performance

We are using the Singer target transferwise-target-snowflake for loading data into our warehouse. This works well, but is slow out of the box. So, I wanted to check out some config options. Out of the box, there are some variables I want to adjust, and a few others that I’ll define as outside the scope of this test, and will remain static. The static factors 🔗For this test, there are a few things that we won’t change:

Econtwitter vs BLS

I have stopped engaging with twitter, but I do still read it. ML-twitter, econtwitter and some of the most popular data-personalities still rummage around there. Especially econtwitter is incredibly informative, and at times funny as hell. Like this weekend, when the VC-bros from the “all in” podcast and friends decided they were way smarter than the bureau of labor statistics. I’m not interested in dunking even more on the stupid VC-bro takes, but in a way this was actually reasonable questions wrapped in a reprehensive know-it-all attitude with a complete and utter lack of even basic introspection of the kind “if this doesn’t make sense to me, might it be that there is something I don’t understand?
