The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, is making significant updates to its certification offerings.
Mendix announced a partnership with Snowflake to enable the enterprise to activate and drive maximum value from their data through low-code application development.
By combining Snowflake’s Data Cloud and Mendix’s enterprise low-code application development platform, enterprises have new opportunities to unlock the value of data for their digital transformation initiatives, particularly those involving AI.
Mendix and Snowflake joint customers will benefit from a seamless end-to-end developer journey, including:
- Secure supported integration between Snowflake’s and Mendix’s technology stacks;
- Improved data exchange between Mendix and Snowflake in both directions;
- Making software development more efficient: data from Snowflake’s platform will be available as ready-to-use data components that can be combined with other reusable components packaged with Mendix or found on the Mendix marketplace;
- Improved mobile application capabilities to create apps for mobile devices using powerful data and its analytics;
- Cybersecurity and governance at all levels: security is built into Snowflake’s Data Cloud includes a multitude of features such as dynamic data masking and end-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest. For Mendix, security, governance, data privacy, and compliance are also priorities in every aspect of the platform and applications built on it.
“The partnership between Mendix and Snowflake will help enterprises bring together two of their greatest assets: data and people who know how to use it. Snowflake’s Data Cloud accumulates infinite gems of data-driven insights. With low-code, we’re excited to be giving a diverse range of people across enterprises capabilities to access this wealth of actionable data and use it in applications that drive value,” says Jethro Borsje, Chief Ecosystems Officer at Mendix.
The new partnership between Snowflake and Mendix makes it easier for wider teams to access the vast data through a low-code drag-and-drop interface to enable data-driven software development from business lenses.
“At Snowflake, we are building the future with data, AI, and apps. The new partnership with Mendix underpins this commitment to our customers,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances, Snowflake. “Together, we’re helping to bridge the gaps between data, business, and IT, and giving thousands of enterprises across the globe new capabilities to turn data into growth outcomes.”
