Great features, effortless integrations and offers an enhanced experience for users
Some of my current wishlist items for improvements would be to extend the existing timeout setting or have that setting configurable at a user level. Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required. Also related to the designing and testing of larger and more complex workflows, navigation is sometimes cumbersome. A means of easily navigating and following the various connectors and workflow links would be a welcomed addition.

Merge has streamlined change data capture and supports cost‑effective ELT hiring flexibility
Regarding optimization, I have observed that on the Snowflake side, with Merge being used on a table that has micro partitions and has been well maintained, the statement execution will be very fast. This helps in both cost savings and performance-wise optimization. It would be beneficial if there is a common public community so that people who may not be aware of this will become more aware. Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates. Snowflake added a feature called QUALIFY that allows us to filter based on ranking and eliminate duplicate records. If such a feature were available in regular Merge statements within any database, that would be helpful. This would eliminate the need to rebuild another subquery inside the Merge statement.

"Great for data flow."
