Dynamic Delivery Quickstart Guide

In this section, you will learn how to set up CI/CD for your Snowflake objects in an easy way. Once it is up and running, you will manage Snowflake objects in a Git-like environment, while CI/CD automates your testing and deployment.

Step 1. Define CI/CD configuration​

In this step, you will set up the CI/CD configuration and choose where your metadata comes from.

  • Under the "DataOps group", start typing the name of an existing DataOps group to see matching options. Each group lives within your customer account and includes projects and subgroups.

  • For the "Data Product" field:

    • Creating a new data product? Enter a new name.
    • Updating an existing one? Type the existing name and select it from the drop-down list. DataOps group !!shadow!!

  • Select CI/CD source type:

    • Snowflake: Pull metadata directly from your connected Snowflake account (recommended)
    • DDL Statement: Upload a static Data Definition Language (DDL) file. Use this option if you’re working with a custom predefined structure.

Finally, enter the login details for the Snowflake account where your objects live.

Step 2. Database selection​

This step defines the data source for your infrastructure setup.

  • Select a Snowflake database from your connected account when prompted.

  • The platform pulls metadata from this database to automatically create the configuration files in the next step.

Step 3. Select the dataset schema​

Select the Snowflake objects for which you want to generate infrastructure-as-code configurations (YAML or JSON files), then click "Continue."

Next, you will see the “Dry run” option – click it to review your setup before moving forward.

Finally, you’ll land on the Summary page. Click “View Pipeline” to explore the pipeline runs and jobs that generated your config files and set up your environment.

Scroll to the bottom and click “Open Develop” to launch the built-in web IDE. However, if you prefer working locally, clone the repo like any other Git project and use your own IDE.

That's it, you can start developing or testing your Snowflake objects with CI/CD capabilities.
