Key Benefits of Apache Spark Connect for Snowpark

Create a series of abstract clusters that visually represent dynamic forms and shapes emphasizing fluidity and movement Integrate our brand colors throughout the design ensuring a harmonious blend that enhances the overall aesthetic while reflecting-1
Lower TCO with Unified Compute

Running Apache Spark code directly on Snowflake eliminates the need for dedicated Spark clusters. This reduces infrastructure overhead, simplifies maintenance, and lets teams focus on delivering business value—not managing infrastructure.

The design features a series of fluid intertwining shapes that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism all rendered in our brands signature color palette These abstract forms seamlessly blend into one another creating a harmonious visual experience th
Faster Migration and Development

Spark Connect provides compatibility with familiar Spark APIs—DataFrame, SQL, and UDFs—enabling teams to quickly migrate existing pipelines, test new use cases, and build future-proof solutions.

The design features a series of interlocking chain links each rendered in a stylized abstract form that emphasizes fluidity and movement The links are adorned with our brands signature colors creating a visually striking contrast that enhances the ov
Enterprise-Grade Governance

Leverage Snowflake’s built-in data governance framework to manage access, lineage, and compliance across Spark workloads—ensuring your governance policies extend across all stages of the data engineering lifecycle.

How It Works

Spark Connect lets customers run Apache Spark code through their preferred tools—such as Snowflake Notebooks, Jupyter, VSCode, Apache Airflow, or Spark Submit—while Snowflake handles the compute. This enables seamless execution across Snowflake-managed storage and external environments like Iceberg and cloud object storage, with no additional cluster provisioning or scaling logic required.

The abstract forms are defined by their elegant aerodynamic silhouettes that seamlessly blend into one another suggesting a fluidity that resonates with the idea of speed and agility The smooth flowing contours are punctuated by sharp dynamic angles-1

Why It Matters

Organizations that rely on Apache Spark can now unify their analytics, engineering, and machine learning workflows within Snowflake. By running Spark code natively on the Snowflake platform, teams gain:

  • Operational simplicity with fewer moving parts

  • Reduced infrastructure costs

  • Faster time-to-value for new pipelines

  • Consistent governance and security
