ARCHITECTING SNOWFLAKE NATIVE APPS
This guide explains how to build and distribute Snowflake Native Apps that run fully inside Snowflake accounts. It describes using the Native App Framework to package apps with zero-ETL data sharing, leveraging Snowflake Marketplace for cross-cloud distribution, and supporting monetization. Best practices include developing app logic first, choosing between Streamlit or custom UIs, and planning listings and pricing models. Providers create application packages, manifests, and release directives to manage versions and permissions. Examples show apps for data integration, financial data management, graph reasoning, and computer vision, demonstrating flexibility and security.
