Snowflake's hybrid tables, known as HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) tables, combine OLTP and OLAP features to provide real-time analytics and historization capabilities. These tables eliminate the need to ship data to another database for OLTP purposes and allow for enriching data with other Snowflake table types. They can be used in a data vault architecture to reduce latency between OLTP and OLAP data, improving performance and enabling further automation.
