Databricks SQL has transformed how teams interact with their data, delivering fast query performance, seamless scalability and lakehouse architecture that brings together the best of data warehousing and data engineering. It’s an incredibly powerful platform, but getting the most out of it requires constant attention to cost and performance. Warehouse workloads are dynamic. Query demands shift around the clock, teams grow and what was perfectly tuned last week may be wasteful or underperforming today. Maximizing efficiency on Databricks SQL is not a one-time task. It’s an ongoing challenge. That’s where Keebo comes in. In this session, we’ll show how Keebo uses reinforcement learning to learn your unique workload patterns and continuously optimize your Databricks SQL warehouses in real time, maximizing performance while reducing costs. No manual tuning. No trade-offs. Just a warehouse that gets smarter over time.

Snowflake has transformed data storage and analysis, but as usage scales, teams struggle with performance, cost and efficiency. This talk explores how generative AI and reinforcement learning (RL) enhance Snowflake by automating warehouse optimization, improving observability and refining query performance. LLM-powered query rewriting reduces compute costs while making data more accessible. RL-driven systems dynamically scale resources, optimize queries and minimize waste. AI-driven observability provides deep insights to detect inefficiencies. Attendees will learn AI strategies to boost performance, visibility and value while reducing costs.

Okta and Komodo Health operate in vastly different industries — identity and access management vs. healthcare intelligence — but both rely on Snowflake to deliver secure, high-performance and cost-efficient data at scale. In this session, leaders from both organizations share how they use AI-powered automation to optimize workloads, reduce spend and improve governance. Whether you’re managing real-time access or sensitive health data, you’ll gain practical strategies to boost performance, cut costs and improve data accessibility — without compromising security.
