What are Facebook Page Insights?

Facebook Insights, an analytics dashboard, allows you to monitor user behavior and the effectiveness of your posts on your Facebook business page. The platform also recommends competitor pages to watch and track and provides important metrics for paid and organic posts, such as page views and post reach.

Facebook Insights makes incoming data from your company page visually appealing so you can understand how visitors interact with it, what content they find interesting, and how it compares to rival pages.

You can retrieve ad data to monitor the effectiveness of your ads using the Facebook Insights API, also referred to as the Ads Insights API. The API is especially helpful because it enables marketers to extract the precise data they need to track, regardless of how detailed.

To ensure that only your team has access to the data you pull from the API, you must select the data you want to use and create an access token for that ad.

What is Snowflake?

Snowflake is a fully managed SaaS (Software as a Service) that combines Data Warehousing, Data Lakes, Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Application Development, and Secure Sharing and Consumption of Real-time / Shared Data into a single platform.

Snowflake isn’t based on any existing database technology or “Big Data” software platforms like Hadoop. However, it combines a brand-new SQL query engine with cutting-edge Cloud Architecture. Snowflake also gives users all of the features and capabilities of an enterprise analytic database, plus a lot more.

Snowflake is a hybrid of shared-disk and shared-nothing Database architectures, which allows it to deliver results quickly. It uses a central repository for persisted data, similar to a shared-disk database, which is accessible from all compute nodes. It uses MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) compute clusters, in which each node stores a portion of the entire data set locally, similar to shared-nothing architectures.

Key Features of Snowflake

Here are some of the features of Snowflake as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution:

• Snowflake enables you to enhance your Analytics Pipeline by transitioning from nightly Batch Loads to Real-time Data Streams, allowing you to improve the quality and speed of your analytics. By enabling Secure, Concurrent, and Monitoring Access to your Data Warehouse across your organization, you can improve the quality of analytics at your company.
• Snowflake uses the Caching Paradigm to deliver the results from the cache swiftly. To avoid re-generation of the report when nothing has changed, Snowflake employs Persistent (within the session) Query results.
• Snowflake allows you to analyze Customer Behaviour and Product Usage better. You can also use the whole scope of data to ensure Customer Satisfaction, drastically improve product offers, and foster Data Science innovation.
• Snowflake allows you to create your own Data Exchange, which securely communicates live, controlled data.
