I currently manage a complex snowflake environment with pulumi and wanted to start exploring alternatives because pulumi is getting to be a burden. After poking around I stumbled upon this repo and thought it was really cool. I was curious though why you decided to design your resources from the ground up rather than build on top of the snowflake core python APIs for resource management. |

Great question! There are two reasons.
There's also the issue of resource coverage. They have only released 30 or so resource types. By using SQL, I don't have to wait months/years for Snowflake to release Python API support. |

The Python APIs didn't exist when I started. Early on, the team at Snowflake asked if I wanted to donate Titan Core to merge into their project, but I decided against it.
The Python APIs are too slow for batch operations. Titan Core can manage 10,000 objects in just a few minutes, the Python APIs don't handle this scale well.
