Workshop: Snowcap - Snowflake infrastructure as code

In Datacoves second live workshop, we'll explore how Snowcap enables Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for Snowflake, making it easier to manage, version, and automate your Snowflake environment with confidence.

During this 1 hoursession, we'll walk through how Snowcap simplifies Snowflake infrastructure management through declarative configuration, built-in governance, and CI/CD integration. You'll see how it compares to other popular approaches and learn practical patterns for adopting Snowcap in modern data platforms.

Key Takeaways

‍

• What Snowcap is and the infrastructure challenges it solves
• How Snowcap compares to Permifrost, Terraform, SnowDDL, and Snowflake DCM
• Using templates and for_each lists to simplify and scale infrastructure management
• Understanding the Plan and Apply workflow for safe, predictable deployments
• Applying governance through RBAC, masking policies, and row access policies
• A live demonstration of Snowcap in action, followed by an interactive Q&A
