Mar 12, 2026: Multi-Location Resilience for Data Pipelines (General availability)¶

Multi-location resilience for data pipelines helps you safeguard your data pipelines against potential region-wide cloud provider outages. It ensures that, upon failing over to a secondary location, file-based data ingestion (specifically Snowpipe and COPY INTO) resumes processing new data without interruption.

Key use cases include the following:

• Business continuity and disaster recovery: Maintain uninterrupted data flows and ensure critical dashboards and machine learning models are fed with fresh data during region-wide cloud provider outages.

• Regulatory compliance: Satisfy regulatory mandates that require multi-region resilience without building complex, custom infrastructure.

• Cross-cloud flexibility: Fail over data ingestion pipelines across cloud providers, eliminating single-vendor infrastructure lock-in for your disaster recovery architecture.

• Zero-engineering overhead: Get exactly-once ingestion semantics upon failover or failback without requiring manual reconciliation or custom deduplication scripts.

You can enable this feature by configuring a Multi-Location Storage Integration (MLSI) and a Multi-Queue Notification Integration (MQNI) to transition your active storage and message queues during failover, combined with routing your files through a dual-write architecture.
