Snowflake at it's most basic is SQL on cloud vms, anyone comfortable with SQL should feel at home there. That said, there are many Snowflake specific features that may take a bit to become familiar with. Just off the top of my head:

- hybrid RBAC, DAC, ABAC security model - column, row level, and tag based access policies - multi-account organizations - cross-account and region data replication - data shares - external tables and specialized formats (iceberg, delta) - pipes and streams - snowpark API - streamlit integration
