**Join us for a special hands-on edition of the Prague Snowflake User Group**, where we'll dive into one of the most exciting new Snowflake features: **dbt Projects in Snowflake**.

**What to expect:**
This instructor-led session is designed for Snowflake practitioners ready to get their hands dirty. You'll follow along in your own Snowflake environment as we explore how to build, manage, and run dbt models directly within the Snowflake UI — without needing a separate dbt setup.

**In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:**

* Set up a native dbt Project in Snowflake
* Organize and manage dbt models
* How to deploy and orchestrate dbt Projects from within Snowflake
* Understand how dbt Projects fit into modern Snowflake development workflows

**Agenda:**
4:30 \- 5:00 PM \| Happy Hour
5:00 \- 7:00 PM \| dbt Projects Hands\-On
7:00 \- 7:30 PM \| Q&A with Snowflake Product Manager for Data Orchestration\, Manuela Wei

**Who should attend:**
This workshop is ideal for data engineers, analytics engineers, and Snowflake users with at least **basic Snowflake experience**. No prior experience with dbt is required, but familiarity with SQL and the Snowflake interface is expected.

**BRING YOUR LAPTOP!** This session is 100% hands-on.

**Spots are limited to ensure a high-quality experience — secure your seat and get ready to build!**

DEV Hands-on Meetup: dbt Projects in Snowflake

We're in for a treat! The first of two events in september, to pick back up after a summer break.
To start September off, we have 2 talks from Snowflake Engineering, which is a treat since they are traveling across Europe to meet LSUG in London.

## **Max Heimel \| Taking a Peek Under the Hood of Snowflake's Query Performance Features**

One of Snowflake's core architectural advantages is its ability to deliver high-performance analytics without sacrificing elasticity. Central to this is our separation of compute and storage: data lives in cloud storage, accessible by any compute node on demand, while transactional consistency is maintained through a centralized metadata service. This separation enables near-instant spin-up of compute resources, but it also means that reading data comes at a cost. To keep queries fast and efficient, we need to be smart about what data we bring onto the node and what we skip. That's where **Snowflake's metadata system comes in**: each micro-partition is richly annotated with statistics and summaries that let our engine quickly prune away irrelevant data before scanning even begins. In this talk, we'll take you on a deep dive into how Snowflake organizes data internally, how we use metadata to make intelligent pruning decisions, and how you can take advantage of features like **clustering** and **search optimization** to speed up your own workloads.

## **Marco Slot \| Postgres vs\. Unistore: When to use which**

Snowflake recently announced the acquisition of **Crunchy Data** and the **Snowflake Postgres** managed service. With that, Snowflake now offers two operational database products: Unistore and Postgres. This talk will go into architectural differences between Postgres and Unistore, and discuss the application characteristics that determine whether you should use one or the other. We'll also look at example scenarios for hybrid- and operational workloads and how they map into Unistore and Postgres.
