In a strategic move to enhance its AI-driven data platform, Snowflake has announced the acquisition of Crunchy Data, a company specializing in PostgreSQL database solutions. The deal, valued at approximately $250 million, aims to bolster Snowflake’s offerings in the realm of enterprise-grade AI applications.
Crunchy Data, known for its robust PostgreSQL tools, serves notable clients including UPS and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. By integrating Crunchy Data’s technology, Snowflake plans to launch “Snowflake Postgres,” a platform designed to simplify the development and deployment of AI agents and applications.
This acquisition comes amid a wave of similar moves in the tech industry, with companies like Databricks and Salesforce making significant investments to enhance their AI capabilities. Snowflake’s latest financial reports indicate a strong performance, with a 35% stock increase in 2025 and quarterly revenues surpassing $1 billion.
The integration of Crunchy Data is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, marking a significant step in Snowflake’s strategy to lead in the AI and data management sectors.
