Should I load information directly to Snowflake from Render or load via remote storage?

For testing purposes, loading directly into Snowflake is the fastest way to get started and check you are achieving the desired results. However, we don’t recommend choosing this approach for a particularly large dataset or once you move to a production environment. At this stage, it is recommended to sync the data from your source to a CSV or JSON file in a remote storage environment such as S3 or Google Cloud Storage and then running a Snowflake cron job or using SnowPipe to load that information into a Snowflake stage.

What authentication options are available for the Snowflake integration?

You can choose between basic authentication using a username and password or use a private and public key pair to authenticate with Snowflake. If you choose to use a private key, you can either place this inline in the specification or reference a separate file where the private key is stored.
