Snowflake is a cloud-native data warehouse supporting scalable storage and compute separation, instant elasticity, secure data sharing, semi-structured data handling (e.g., JSON), and seamless integration with BI tools.

Snowflake's service endpoints and UI are inaccessible in mainland China. Chinese enterprises use local data warehouse alternatives like Alibaba AnalyticDB, Tencent Cloud TDW, or Huawei GaussDB, which comply with PIPL and offer similar elasticity and BI integrations.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
