Hi! We are currently setting up TimeXtender with Snowflake and have a bit of an issue when it comes TimeXtender not having the capability of managing the ODX in Snowflake (internal stage).  As you know an external stage is needed via Azure Data Lake Gen2.  The issue for us is that we would like to use private endpoint when creating this data lake in Azure but that requires business critical subscription to Snowflake which is 30 percent more expensive.  

 

Are there any plans/timeline for when TimeXtender will be capable of handling the Ingest instance in Snowflake and if so could you please give a rough estimate on when that might be available?  We need to make some decisions on our end on how to proceed and would like to know the answer before we move forward.

Hi,

this would be a useful feature to have indeed as this avoids needing to move data between cloud providers.

Note that even with Ingest working against Snowflake, you will still need to pay for private inbound connectivity from your source systems into Snowflake as well as for private outbound connectivity if you want to prevent those streams from going across the public internet.

​@rory.smith are there any plans for such functionality?  We heard from our partner that there were some discussions regarding this maybe being available in the fall.  Or even perhaps not needing an ingest layer at all.

Hi,

as a partner consultant I don't dictate the roadmap đŸ˜€ so TimeXtender would need to say something about that. It would probably help to add an Idea for your proposal as there isn't any on that topic yet.
