Hex announced support for Snowflake's developer framework, Snowpark. This integration is part of growing momentum between Hex and Snowflake, coming on the heels of Hex achieving Snowflake Premier Technology Partner status, completing the Snowflake Ready Validation Program, and being listed in the Snowflake Partner Connect. Most or all data processing can be pushed down to the Snowflake Data Cloud, taking advantage of Snowflake's scalable compute and advanced caching.

Discovering insights and building apps on data stored in Snowflake using Hex's analytics workspace takes just minutes. Joint customer wins include Clipboard Health, Glossier, Notion, and Opensea. The integration with Hex's notebook UI provides an elegant front end for data scientists and analysts to connect to data in the Snowflake Data Cloud, do exploration and analysis in SQL and Python, build interactive data apps, and share them broadly.

This integration benefits data literate stakeholders across the organization: SQL users who are proficient in Snowflake now have a low-barrier entry point to try doing data science work in Python. Python users can take full advantage of the power and scalability of the Snowflake Data Cloud for data science workflows. All users have an easier way to collaborate with each other, with the capability to toggle between Python and SQL, and between notebook and published app, in the same environment.

In becoming Snowflake Ready Validated, Hex has successfully completed the third party technical validation confirming its Snowflake integrations are optimized for both function and performance. As part of Snowflake Partner Connect, it's easy for Snowflake customers to start a Hex trial directly from the Snowflake Data Cloud. From the Snowflake Partner Connect in app menu, users click the Hex tile to activate a Hex trial connected to their Snowflake account, automatically generating objects and/or granting access to their database of choice to power a Hex project.
