I'm interested in hearing more on populating iceberg tables and how companies are connecting/leveraging snowflake with their data lakes.

I can also present on a few topics if anyone is interested, including our journey implementing Data Mesh at ESO, commercial uses of Snowflake Reader accounts for self-service data access, dynamic tables in ELT, and optimization of relational models in Snowflake.

In Johnson Controls, we are implementing Medallion Architecture from the scratch. I want to hear from experts, the approach to implement Silver Layer in Snowflake. (also best orchestration tool) We are also exploring the option of adopting AWS moving away from Azure for compute and storage. Like to hear from ESO and other clients the pitfalls and pain points of AWS adoption.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to hear about best practices for ELT/ETL to Snowflake from on-prem OLTP data sources (Oracle database, SQL Server) including minimizing impact to data sources, securing transport, and transforming extracted data sets as needed in Snowflake.
