How data is stored in PostgreSQL?
When data is stored in Postgres, Postgres in turn stores that data in regular files in the filesystem. All of the files are stored in /var/lib/postgresql/9.5/main/base/16387/. The first GB of the table is stored in a file called 51330, the second in a file called 51330.1, the third in 51330.2, and so on.
Is Snowflake a SaaS?
Data Platform as a Cloud Service Snowflake is a true SaaS offering. More specifically: There is no hardware (virtual or physical) to select, install, configure, or manage. There is virtually no software to install, configure, or manage.
Why Snowflake is not good?
Metadata (including encryption keys) is decoupled from the data and is stored by Snowflake separately. It means all the S3 or Azure Storage blobs you have are completely meaningless if the Cloud Services layer is affected by the outage.
