Snowflake announces full bidirectional interoperability support through the Iceberg REST Catalog, enabling both inbound and outbound data federation. The platform can consume Iceberg tables from external catalogs and expose its own Iceberg tables for downstream systems to access using standard Iceberg clients. This approach eliminates vendor lock-in by supporting open standards, allowing customers to freely move data between Snowflake and other platforms without proprietary integrations or special adapters.
