DJ Kline shared thisEvery system added to a streaming pipeline brings more infrastructure to operate and monitor. Snowpipe Streaming Elastic Channels are now GA, creating a direct path from applications, devices and services into Snowflake. This gives teams another option when a separate ingestion layer isn’t needed for replay, retention or multiple consumers. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ehFjgvmqDJ Kline shared thisStreaming data into Snowflake shouldn’t require a pipeline whose only job is to land rows. Snowpipe Streaming Elastic Channels are now GA, giving producers a direct path into Snowflake tables and Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables. Create a target table, connect producers through the SDK or REST API, append rows or batches, and receive a durable acknowledgment once Snowflake has persisted the data. At GA, Elastic Channels support up to 20 GB/s per table, with data available to query in as little as 5 seconds depending on the workload. The choice is practical: if you need Kafka for multiple consumers, replay or retention, keep it. If the system exists only to move data into Snowflake, Elastic Channels can remove that layer.

DJ Kline shared thisOne unsized table is all it takes for a single AI function call to define your month's bill. Per-user quotas are GA in AI Functions, so requests past a user's credit ceiling get refused instead of billed. See how it works: https://lnkd.in/ef4ydBhsDJ Kline shared thisBuilding AI spend controls by hand means a metering query, a scheduled task, a procedure that revokes a role, and another to undo it on the first of the month. Per-user quotas are now GA. That plumbing is gone. A quota is a first-class Snowflake object. Set a monthly and daily per-user credit limit, turn on enforcement, and Snowflake runs the loop: • The object is the API. One call for current config, one for who's in scope, one for who's blocked, one for full enforcement history • Blocked users get a "quota exhausted" error at the call site, not a generic auth failure • Scope is declarative through user tags and resolves at evaluation time, so retagging moves a user between quotas • Blocks expire on their own at the UTC cycle boundary. Raise the limit and they clear If you need custom behavior, register your own stored procedure at a threshold and the quota hands you the breaching user IDs. Get started: https://bit.ly/4yimBf9

DJ Kline shared thisThe bottleneck was never the data — it was context. We built a semantic layer at Snowflake that handled 320,000+ queries a month across 5,600 employees. AtScale benchmarks show 20% to 90%+ text-to-SQL gains. Here's how we built it: https://lnkd.in/e2DH5p2b

DJ Kline shared thisWhile telemetry pipelines are standard now, this wasn't always the case! The telemetry pipeline use cases (centralize, route, filter, transform, forward) meant paying for a proprietary tool. The OpenTelemetry Collector does it all with plain configuration, and no license required! Read our full breakdown below from Observe, Inc.

DJ Kline shared thisAn agent is only as current as the data it acts on. If something happened in your business an hour ago and your AI still doesn't know, that lag is the constraint, not the model. Join us on Sept 30 as we make the case for treating real-time data as a business priority rather than a pipeline detail, including how larger enterprises handle low-latency data at scale.

DJ Kline shared thisMost product catalogs have the same issue: great photos, patchy data behind them. Cortex AI Functions closes that gap. Drop your images into Snowflake, point AI_COMPLETE at each one and it returns a structured record per photo. No more manual entry and custom pipeline.

DJ Kline shared thisWhen we say Snowflake engineers are building the forefront of enterprise AI, we mean it. Case in point: Renxu Hu, who built the first version of CoCo Desktop in just four days. Now it’s GA and one of the fastest-growing AI features in Snowflake history. 🤯 Watch below to see revolution in action, then come build the next big thing with us.

DJ Kline reacted on thisDJ Kline reacted on thisHi Everyone! I'm excited to announce my new business, Uplift Somatics! After working in tech/corporate for nearly 15 years, I'm shifting gears and focusing on supporting people navigating chronic stress, burnout, grief, and big life transitions through Somatic Experiencing and nervous system transformation. This work isn't another thing to optimize. It's about learning how to come out of survival mode, so you can think clearly, rest deeply, and lead from a steadier place. Somatic Experiencing is a body-centered approach to mental health that works on the idea that stress, trauma, and difficult emotions aren't only stored in our thoughts but also in the body: in muscle tension, breathing patterns, posture, and the nervous system's habitual responses. Where traditional talk therapy works mainly through conversation and insight, Somatic Epxeriencing adds attention to physical sensations as a way of processing and releasing what's held there. Many folks working in corporate are familiar with what it feels like to have a calendar that is packed. Slack messages that never stop. The pressure to ship, scale, and solve problems all day, and somehow your nervous system never gets to log off. Tech rewards speed. But your body wasn't designed to run in sprint mode indefinitely. Layer on life stressors, and the pressure cooker continues. If you're feeling wired but exhausted, can't switch off at night, or have been in "push through" mode so long it feels normal, I invite you to pause and reflect on this. It's likely chronic stress, and your body has been carrying it for you. I know this feeling from experience. After losing my sister almost five years ago, and battling grief and overwhelm, I kept pushing until my body couldn't anymore. Somatic Experiencing was the modality that helped me process difficult emotions, rewire my nervous system, and build more capacity to feel emotions across the spectrum. If this resonates, I'm offering free 30-minute consultations that can be booked at https://lnkd.in/gbdpPrJB

DJ Kline reacted on thisDJ Kline reacted on thisAfter 3.5 years at Grafana Labs, I’m excited to share that I’ve moved from Commercial Sales into a new role as Senior Executive Assistant, Customer Solutions. My time in sales has honed my understanding of our customers, our business, and what it takes to build lasting partnerships. I’m endlessly grateful to the Grafanistas who have challenged me, invested in my growth, and shaped how I approach my work. Tyler Theret Eric Kane Matthew Klein Brandon Hecke Dondy A. James Cutrer John Black Tessa Greenleaf Amy Q Lin Jeffrey Freeman Alex Garwood, MBA, CF-L2 Lauren Phillips For me, this move is about coming full circle with a broader perspective. It brings my sales experience together with my foundation in operations and leadership, positioning me to contribute where I do my best work: translating strategy into execution, aligning teams around shared priorities, and strengthening how an organization operates and scales. What excites me most is the opportunity to extend my impact by helping others be more effective - giving leaders greater capacity to lead, and teams the clarity and support to move important work forward. Continuing to grow at a company I genuinely love is something I don’t take for granted. I’m proud of the experience that brought me here and energized by how much there is still to learn, build, and contribute. I’m looking forward to partnering with the OneX organization to build on the work already underway and help shape what comes next. 🚀
