Toyota Motor Europe (TME) set out to unify vehicle profile data across multiple clouds without duplicating it. This session shows how TME built a cross-cloud data strategy using Snowflake Open Catalog and Iceberg tables, integrating managed Apache Pulsar as a streaming backbone. Learn how TME connected cloud environments through external Iceberg tables for a zero-copy approach, and how separate maintenance jobs complemented Open Catalog by compacting metadata for consistency and governance. We also explain why migrating to Horizon Catalog improved interoperability and scalability, and the steps TME followed to combine Pulsar, Iceberg and Open Catalog to power the vehicle profile.

Discover how Toyota Motor Europe revolutionized their connected car data management using Snowflake. This session reveals how TME successfully integrated petabyte-scale Apache Iceberg datasets from AWS with Snowflake, while maintaining stringent European regulatory compliance. Learn practical insights on architecting a modern data stack that combines AWS Glue & Snowflake to break down data silos, enhance vehicle quality, and elevate customer service through secure cross-regional collaboration.
