Sounds great until you're locked into Snowflake - so glad iceberg is becoming the standard, anything is great.

The trap you end up in is you have to pay snowflake to access your data, iceberg and other technology help with the walled garden.

Not just snowflake, any pay on use provider.

(Context - have spent 5+ years working with Snowflake, it's great, have built drivers for various languages, etc).
