❄️ 🥐 Snowflake at Rohlík: Choosing, Learning, and What's Next

Picture this: your current data platform is starting to lose breath. It still works today, but you can already see the limits — and in a few years, it could put the business in real trouble. That's the situation they faced at Rohlík. They had been running Snowflake through an external provider, but the setup was holding them back. So they made the call to take ownership and manage Snowflake ourselves.

Ondřej Hubálek (Data Engineering Team Lead) will share why Rohlík decided to move away from the externally managed setup, why they believe running Snowflake in-house is the way forward, and how they designed their environment. Vít Gabrhel (Data Engineer) will then talk about the challenges along the journey, the steps that helped overcome them, and the lessons we've learned so far. Finally, they'll share where things stand today — and what's next on the roadmap.

❄️💛 The 80/20 rule in data - Focus on why & what, not how
Can an analyst do sentiment analysis, reporting, and even documentation coverage evaluation – all without leaving Snowflake?

Jan Šulc from Revolt BI will show a practical example using support ticket data: analyzing content, detecting sentiment, and tackling one tricky question — how well are ticket topics covered by existing documentation?
No tool-switching, just smart problem-solving in one place.

❄️❄️ A Snowflake representative will walk through a practical use case and reveal some of the hidden treasures beneath the surface.

❄️🎤The session will then continue with a lively panel discussion, where experts will share their own perspectives and experiences — and the audience will have the chance to jump in with their questions.
