Snowpipe Streaming allows for the seamless ingestion of real-time data directly into your Snowflake tables by utilizing the streaming ingest SDK through the streaming API.
The streaming ingest API inserts data rows directly into Snowflake tables, as opposed to bulk data loading or Snowpipe, which rely on staged files. This architecture leads to reduced load latencies and, consequently, lower costs for handling equivalent data volumes, making it a robust solution for managing real-time data streams
