This was slowing down the company's growth and preventing it from achieving a holistic view of the business. Westwing decided to move its architecture to the cloud, with Snowflake as the data warehouse, and outsource commodity services to focus on its strategic goal of scaling an eCommerce platform. However, with an ambitious cloud migration deadline looming, Westwing needed to find an ELT solution that could quickly and efficiently automate access to data. Read More
