DEPLOY CARTO SPATIAL APPS DIRECTLY IN THE SNOWFLAKE DATA CLOUD

Cloud Native

Summary

Announcing CARTO’s support for Snowflake’s Snowpark Container Services &
Snowflake Native Apps for cutting-edge geospatial analysis & optimization.

This post may describe functionality for an old version of CARTO. Find out about
the latest and cloud-native version here.


At the 2023 Snowflake Summit, taking place in Las Vegas, Snowflake announced
Snowpark Container Services, launching in private preview and the public preview
for Snowflake Native Apps. CARTO is excited to participate as a launch partner
for both of these offerings, furthering our mission to unlock native geospatial
capabilities directly within the Snowflake Data Cloud.


ANNOUNCING CARTO’S SUPPORT FOR SNOWFLAKE’S SNOWPARK CONTAINER SERVICES AND
SNOWFLAKE NATIVE APPS

Since 2020, CARTO has been collaborating with Snowflake to bring advanced
spatial analytics functionalities to the Snowflake Data Cloud. We are thrilled
to expand this collaboration to include support for Snowflake’s latest product
innovations.

Snowpark Container Services can be used as part of a Snowflake Native App (in
development) to enable Snowflake customers to install and run sophisticated apps
entirely in their Snowflake account. For Snowflake consumers, this means they
can install cutting-edge products like CARTO’s Location Intelligence platform
and run them  in their Snowflake without ever having to move their governed data
or compromise its security.

Let’s take a look at an example use case of CARTO and Snowflake in action!


USE CASE EXAMPLE: CARTO FLEET ROUTE OPTIMIZATION

The Vehicle Routing Problem, also known as VRP, is an optimization challenge
aimed to  determine the most efficient routes for a fleet of vehicles to visit a
specific set of locations while adhering to various constraints.

To tackle this intricate spatial challenge, CARTO offers a comprehensive fleet
optimization toolkit that empowers developers to fully leverage the robust and
flexible computing resources of Snowflake. This toolkit enables the creation of
routing applications that enhance operational efficiency, competitiveness, and
environmental sustainability for companies in many different verticals.




HOW DOES IT WORK WITHIN SNOWFLAKE?

First, CARTO’s Analytics Toolbox can be installed as a Snowflake Native App from
Snowflake Marketplace, so its entire suite of geospatial functions runs within
the customer’s Snowflake environment. The Fleet Optimization solution—which
utilizes Snowpark Container Services—runs using Snowflake compute and accesses
the natively integrated geospatial functions available via the native app.  

At the heart of the Fleet Optimization architecture lies a Docker container
operating within Snowpark Container Services, serving as the execution
environment for all fleet optimization processes.

For data storage, Snowflake employs input tables to hold information like
locations (deliveries), constraints (e.g., time windows), and vehicles
(including additional limitations like vehicle capacities). These input tables
conform to a predefined data model, ensuring data integrity within the
optimization engine.

Similarly, Snowflake utilizes output tables to store the solutions generated by
the optimization engine. Each solution consists of a collection of routes,
comprising nodes (point geometry with a sequential order within the route) and
edges (line geometry connecting each pair of sequenced nodes). These output
tables also adhere to a predefined data model, preserving integrity with the
optimization engine.

The Fleet Optimization solution produces various outputs, which are then
visualized through an interactive dashboard equipped with maps and widgets in
CARTO Builder.
