By default, all the data is compressed in Snowflake. Snowflake selects the top compression algorithms and cannot be configured by end-users. The best thing about Snowflake is that after compressing the data, Snowflake charges the customer according to the final size of the compressed data.
Benefits of data compression in snowflake :
* Storage costs are lower compared to native cloud storage costs due to compression.
* There is no storage cost for disk caches.
* Storage overheads close to zero when cloning or sharing data.
