The most efficient way to get files into Snowflake, especially when new files are being written to a cloud storage location at frequent intervals, is to use Snowpipe with auto-ingest. Snowpipe is Snowflake’s continuous data ingestion service that loads data as soon as it becomes available in a cloud storage location. By setting up cloud provider notifications, Snowpipe can be triggered automatically whenever new files are written to the storage location, ensuring that the data is loaded into Snowflake with minimal latency and without the need for manual intervention or scheduling frequent tasks.
