Snowflake + Dagster: data warehouse meets orchestration layer
Snowflake now owns more of the data stack—Dynamic Tables, Cortex, and native freshness controls handle transformation and compute inside the warehouse.
Dagster sits upstream: orchestration, lineage tracking, cost attribution, and automation across SQL assets, pipelines, and downstream jobs.
The division is practical—Snowflake excels at scale and freshness; Dagster handles visibility and control across the entire platform.
