In this post, you’ll learn how to set up and configure all the necessary components to enable Snowflake’s Snowpipe for automated and reliable data ingestion using Azure. We’ll walk through how to configure Azure Blob Storage, set up Event Grid, and integrate everything step by step to allow Snowflake to seamlessly ingest data from your Azure cloud storage.
The diagram below outlines the core components that make up the planned architecture for implementing Snowpipe. The main components involved are the following:
Here is a quick summary of what the function is associated with each component
Component | Description |
Azure Blob Storage | Stores incoming data files to be ingested into Snowflake. |
Storage Queue | Temporarily holds event messages triggered by new blob uploads. |
Event Grid | Forwards blob creation events to the storage queue for processing. |
Storage Integration | Securely connects Snowflake to Azure Blob Storage using scoped credentials. |
Notification Integration | Allows Snowflake to listen for and process events from the storage queue. |
External Stage | Defines the location and access method to external data in Azure Blob Storage. |
Snowpipe | Continuously loads new data from the external stage into a Snowflake table. |
The data workflow for the solution consists of the components’ interaction:
