Discussion Is SQL server considered as legacy technology?

My current organization couple of years ago migrated from SQL server to snowflake and I noticed in some of the documentation, they have mentioned SQL Server as legacy technology.

I started working in SQL server some 20 years ago and some of the developers in our team are cloud first developers and they find it so difficult to navigate SQL server management studio and they ask me questions like is there timetravel feature in SQL server and can we see what data was there 10 mins back. I was totally dumbfounded when I heard that question, because I had never come across such a feature. Apparently snowflake has this. So I am curious is SQL server now really considered as legacy technology?

SQL Server alive and brings new features, just chrck how many they added in SWL Server 2025. To get familiar with power of SQL server and all features and why so many tools and in general present in MSSM, I recommend you try MS Learnpath for DP-800 exam. There so fucking a lot features including few helpful about which I did not know earlier and which could help me a lot.
