Snowflake acquires Streamlit for $800M to help customers build data-based apps

I'm knee deep in the data tooling space myself and it's quirky at first but not too surprising.

This resembles the Google Cloud acquisition of Kaggle, or Microsoft's acquisition of Github. For better or for worse, these larger players / platforms are buying a large community around the hip tool. Snowflake wants to be a giant data platform company, not just "another data warehouse".

No stranger than Confluence acquiring Chartio. Snowflake has been making some interesting ventures and investments (eg Sigma Computing).

As a user of data tooling, bundling data pipelining, cloud warehousing, visualization, and MLOPs into a consistent environment is helpful and lowers tooling cost. Streamlit is frankly fantastic and one of my personal favorite tools.

I think it’s more analogous to google cloud acquisition of Looker, rebranded as Google Data Studio

Would love to chat about data tooling!
