By Akash Sriram (Reuters) -Snowflake shares jumped about 14% on Thursday riding a wave of demand for its artificial intelligence database products, as companies race to modernize their data infrastructure and simplify AI adoption. The stock move is set to add more than $11 billion to its $67 billion market capitalization, if premarket gains hold. The cloud-based data warehousing firm, which helps enterprises store, manage and analyze massive datasets across multiple cloud providers, said demand for its platform is accelerating. Nvidia’s strong forecast boosted confidence in the AI sector and pointed to sustained spending on data infrastructure, a trend that positions Snowflake to benefit as companies accelerate efforts to modernize data stacks and deploy AI. Investors see Snowflake as a key beneficiary of the AI-driven shift to the cloud. "That’s a catalyst for new next generation databases, whether that be MongoDB, whether that be Snowflake, whether that be Databricks," said Richard Clode, portfolio manager at Janus Henderson Investors, which owns Snowflake shares. The company highlighted strong momentum on Microsoft’s Azure cloud service, with usage surging in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Snowflake’s stock, which is up about 30% this year, trades at 142.52 times profit estimates, while shares of rivals MongoDB and Datadog have a price-to-earnings multiple of 75.76 and 63.71, respectively. 3rd party Ad.

The first time someone asks for “real‑time,” it sounds like a small tweak: refresh the dashboard faster, trigger an alert sooner, show a counter that feels alive. In a data platform, that single request quietly changes everything—how you ingest, how you process, how you serve, and how you operate. This post keeps it practical. It frames real‑time as a freshness target (not a vibe), walks through the two taxes real‑time introduces—architectural complexity and cost—and shows how patterns evolve as you scale from modest #StreamingData to internet‑class velocity. It also folds in recent Microsoft Ignite announcements that matter for real‑time platforms, including SQL Server 2025’s “change event streaming” and near real‑time analytics via OneLake/Fabric mirroring, plus the continued maturation of Microsoft Fabric’s Real‑Time Intelligence building blocks.
