This platform involved setting up two databases one located in the cloud utilizing Snowflake, and another on-premises utilizing SQL Server. The databases served different purposes based on their security requirements. The cloud-based Snowflake database was utilized for storing data that didn't have stringent security requirements. On the other hand, the on-premises SQL Server database was specifically designated for housing sensitive data that required robust security measures.
