CUSTOMER SUCCESS Lacework is a cloud security platform that provides cloud workload and container security
solutions. Customers rely on Lacework for security protection and fast insights into their data.
Data is critical to Lacework’s mission, which is why they need fast and efficient query results. As
a startup, they also need an affordable solution that scales CPU and storage independently and
doesn’t require database administration.
With Snowflake as its cloud data platform, Lacework now scales environments and customer
instances as needed, and can clone data and run queries with no further setup required.
As a startup, your main goal is to make your customers happy. Anything that takes
your focus away from that is slowing you down. Because of Snowflake, we are able to
focus on our application. I sleep much better because of that.”
