Snowpark is a developer framework provided by Snowflake that allows data engineers, data scientists, and developers to execute code, including custom logic and third-party libraries, directly within the Snowflake data cloud. It supports languages like Scala, Java, and Python. Snowpark aims to bring computation closer to the data, reducing data movement and improving performance for tasks such as data transformation, feature engineering, and machine learning model training. It commonly used to build data pipelines and applications that leverage the power and scalability of Snowflake.
