You can run dlt within Snowflake AI Data Cloud in a few different ways.

Ways to run dlt#

1. Snowflake Native App
   Install the dlt Connector App from the Snowflake Marketplace and run pipelines through the built-in UI.

2. Snowflake Notebook
   Run a dlt pipeline directly inside a Snowflake Notebook for interactive development and testing.

3. Snowpark Container Services (SPCS)
   Package dlt into a container and run it on SPCS for in-Snowflake execution (available starting with Snowpark 1.43.0).

4. External runner with Snowflake as destination
   Run dlt outside Snowflake (your infra or a third party) and load into Snowflake as the destination.

How to choose#

• Use Native App for a packaged, repeatable experience.
• Use Notebook for quick experiments.
• Use SPCS for containerized runs inside Snowflake.
• Use an external runner if your pipelines already run outside Snowflake.
