Snowflake + First-Party Data Stack (CDPs + The Trade Desk)
Seven clients are live with a Simon Data/Tealium/Amplitude → Snowflake → The Trade Desk architecture, using Snowpipe for continuous ingestion with no direct API builds between CDPs and DSPs.
Scale
7 clients live with this architecture as of October 2024
Before
Direct API builds between CDPs and DSPs — bespoke integrations per partner, high maintenance overhead
After
CDPs → Snowpipe (continuous ingestion) → Snowflake (identity hub) → The Trade Desk without direct API builds
Key Insight
The warehouse becomes the identity hub — not just storage, but the activation layer. Partner integrations happen once, at the warehouse layer, not point-to-point.
