Snowflake data share restriction
Imported databases, whether derived from a share or from replicated database,
cannot be reshared. The same principle applies to data products shared via data
exchange and marketplace.
CSP Marketplaces
CSPs also operate their own marketplaces, for example, AWS Data Exchange (ADX),
Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace. Data interchange costs must also be
considered for hydrating each target marketplace. Note that data egress costs may apply.
Iceberg, Platforms, and S3-Compatible Storage Support
Snowflake supports Iceberg tables; see
https://www.snowflake.com/blog/unifying-
iceberg-tables/
.
Outside of the Snowflake ecosystem, several other distribution venues exist
including Google Big Query, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and other non-Snowflake
supported CSPs.
You should also be mindful that Snowflake offers third-party data integration
capability via S3-compatible storage.
Logging
Multiple processes that are logging event information into a single table will serialize all
concurrent processes as each logging process locks the target table and micro-partitions
are written.
