Snowcap helps you provision, deploy, and secure resources in Snowflake. Datacoves takes it further: a managed DataOps platform for dbt and Airflow where governance and best practices are built into every layer.
- Private cloud or SaaS – your data, your choice
- Managed dbt + Airflow – production-ready from day one
- In-browser VS Code – onboard developers in minutes
- Bring your own tools – integrates with your existing stack, no lock-in
- AI-assisted development – connect your organization's approved LLM (Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, and more)
- Built-in governance – CI/CD, guardrails, and best practices included
Snowcap is the power tools. Datacoves is the workshop.
