## When to pick over BigQuery

* Your customers / prospects already use Snowflake.
* You need data sharing (read-only access for partners).
* Multi-cloud is important.

## Setup

`SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT`, `SNOWFLAKE_USER`, `SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD`, `SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE` in vly secrets. Connect via the Snowflake SDK from a Convex action.
