Snowcap helps you provision, deploy, and secure resources in Snowflake. Datacoves takes it further: a managed DataOps platform for dbt and Airflow, deployable in your private cloud or available as SaaS.

  • Private cloud or SaaS - your data, your choice
  • Managed dbt + Airflow - production-ready from day one
  • In-browser VS Code - onboard developers in minutes
  • Bring your own tools - integrates with your existing stack, no lock-in
  • AI-assisted development - connect your organization's approved LLM (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, and more)
  • Built-in governance - CI/CD, guardrails, and best practices included

Snowcap is the power tools. Datacoves is the workshop.

Snowcap replaces tools like Terraform, Schemachange, or Permifrost.

Deploy any Snowflake resource, including users, roles, schemas, databases, integrations, pipes, stages, functions, stored procedures, and more. Convert adhoc, bug-prone SQL management scripts into simple, repeatable configuration.

Use with care

Snowcap is a powerful tool that can create, modify, and drop resources across your entire Snowflake account. Always run snowcap plan to review changes before applying. Test thoroughly in a sandbox or development account before running against production. Snowcap is provided "as is" under the Apache 2.0 license with no warranties.
