Introduction

Hasura supports connecting to a Snowflake service to automatically build a GraphQL API based on its schema.

Supported versions:
  1. Hasura GraphQL Engine v2.24.0 onwards

Get Started

To try Hasura with Snowflake, you'll need a new or existing Snowflake instance.

Here are 2 ways you can get started with Hasura and Snowflake:

  1. Hasura Cloud: You'll need to be able to access your Snowflake instance service from Hasura Cloud.
  2. Docker: Run Hasura with Docker and then connect your Snowflake instance to Hasura.

Managing data with the Hasura Console

The Hasura Console is a web UI that allows you to manage your data and metadata. It is available at http://localhost:8080/console when you run Hasura locally, or from your project's Console endpoint when you use Hasura Cloud.

The data-management features (such as creating tables) are available in the Data tab. You can access your GraphQL API in the API tab and interact with it using the GraphiQL interface.

Console support

We recommend using your preferred Snowflake client instead. The Hasura Console is designed to be a tool for managing your GraphQL API, and not a full-fledged database management tool.

Keep up to date

Note

Currently, Hasura supports read-only queries, subscriptions, relationships, and permissions on Snowflake.
