One of Instacart's board members is Frank Slootman, the CEO of Snowflake , a publicly traded company that helps businesses store and manage hefty workloads in the cloud.
Slootman joined Instacart's board in 2021 and, because of that relationship, the company has to disclose its business ties to Snowflake.
In May, the company published a blog post titled "How Instacart Ads Modularized Data Pipelines With Lakehouse Architecture and Spark."
The post, which described software underpinning Instacart's ads infrastructure, included discussion of a migration to Databricks' Lakehouse technology and the cost savings that followed.
Representatives from Instacart, Snowflake and Databricks declined to to comment.
