Optimizing Price for Performance with the Snowflake Performance Index
The Snowflake Performance Index (SPI) is an aggregate index for measuring improvements in Snowflake performance experienced by customers over time. The SPI is calculated based on a comparable cohort of stable customer workloads consisting of millions of jobs each month.

Query Duration Time
Query Duration for Customers’ Recurring Workloads Improves by 40% Since We Started Tracking Metric*

Improvement in query duration, over the last 26 months
20% improvement in query duration over the last 12 months*
*Based on internal Snowflake data, query duration for customers’ stable workloads improved by 40% from August 25, 2022 to October 31, 2024. To calculate SPI, we identify a group of customer workloads that are stable and comparable in both amount of queries and data processed over the period presented. Reduction in query duration resulted from a combination of factors, including hardware and software improvements and customer optimizations. Improvement in query duration metrics are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
