The Data Infrastructures with Snowflake Proficiency (Advanced Level) benchmark measures your ability to work with continuous data, perform advanced analytics in Snowflake, and work with semi-structured data in Snowflake. You will be evaluated on your skills in setting up a table and internal Snowflake stage for data ingestion, integrating Snowflake with Azure and AWS, executing various join operations, and loading and querying JSON and XML data in Snowflake. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to work on advanced analytics using Snowflake without any supervision.
