As soon as you choose to use any SaaS that doesn’t have a local equivalent, it’s over. We were fine until we started using Snowflake. The SQL doesn’t quite transpile to Postgres, and anyway we’re using some Python functions where the equivalent SQL would be nightmarishly complicated. I hate that we can’t iterate fast on that part of the stack. Could we build something that works nearly identically, but locally? Yes, but we’d need to submit some patches to sqlglot, which nobody has time for. Could we avoid using Snowflake altogether? Only with a lot more work. It solves a few real problems for us.
