Dec 17, 2025 — Snowflake High Performance connector for Kafka (Preview)¶

This release marks the public preview of Snowflake Connector for Kafka.

The Snowflake Connector for Kafka is a high-performance connector for Kafka that allows you to ingest data from Kafka topics into Snowflake tables.

The connector leverages Snowflake’s high-performance Snowpipe Streaming architecture to deliver multiple GB/s throughput with little latency. Key features include transparent billing, Rust-based performance improvements, in-flight transformations, server-side validation, and pre-clustering capabilities. PIPE objects serve as the central entry point for managing and configuring the streaming data ingestion process.
