As one of Snowflake's earliest and largest adopters, Capital One has continually driven innovation in cloud data management, focusing on optimizing cost and governance at a massive scale. This session details our strategic journey toward a Bring Your Own Compute model, illustrating how we evolved our architecture to meet rigorous security, governance and cost optimization requirements in a federated data environment. A core component of this evolution was implementing a sophisticated architecture that allows data consumers flexibility while maintaining central control via multi-catalog and multi-table format architecture, achieving data residency and compliance, and maximizing finops efficiency.
