SNOWWATCH is a collection of SQL commands and automated data harvesting scripts designed to let you efficiently ingest data from multiple cloud environments into the Snowflake Cloud Data Warehouse.
The Snowflake SnowAlert project is used to provide policy enforcement and alerting to improve the security, compliance, and affordability of your cloud infrastructure.

Working with many clients who implement cloud monitoring solutions (with various levels of success), SNOWWATCH is our best effort at a minimalist and reliable data ingestion pattern.
The pattern is meant to make cloud data ingestion repeatable and trustworthy. You are encouraged to take the basic patterns in this project and expand them with your business-specific needs. SNOWWATCH is simply a starting point with data engineering best-practices built in.
SNOWWATCH is not a platform and it is not a magic solution. This project will not replace your security and site reliability teams.
However, when used responsibly, this collection of ingestion patterns could save you time and money by allowing your engineers to focus more on business logic and less on setup.
