Introduction

SnowDDL is a declarative-style tool for object management automation in Snowflake.

It is not intended to replace other tools entirely, but to provide an alternative approach focused on practical data engineering challenges.

You may find SnowDDL useful if:

  • complexity of object schema grows exponentially, and it becomes hard to manage;

  • your organization maintains multiple Snowflake accounts (dev, stage, prod);

  • your organization has multiple developers sharing the same Snowflake account and suffering from conflicts;

  • it is necessary to generate some part of configuration dynamically using Python;

SingleDB (upd: Jun 2022)

A new simplified SingleDB mode is now available for SnowDDL. It can be used to manage schemas and schema objects in a single database only.
