Real-Time Data Streaming in Snowflake

Anil Kumar Moka streams some data:

Real-time data ingestion has become essential for modern analytics and operational intelligence. Organizations across industries need to process data streams from IoT sensors, financial transactions, and application events with minimal latency. Snowflake offers two robust approaches to meet these real-time data needs: Snowpipe for near-real-time file-based streaming and Direct Streaming via Snowpark API for true real-time data integration.

This guide explores both options in depth, providing detailed implementations with explanation of code parameters, performance comparisons, and practical recommendations to help you choose the right approach for your specific use case.
