Snowflake Data Marketplace

Overview

The Snowflake Marketplace is a platform that allows users to discover, evaluate, and purchase third-party data sets, data services, and Snowflake Native Apps. It essentially functions as an "app store" for data. For the SnowPro Core exam, you need to understand how the Marketplace operates on top of Snowflake's secure data sharing capabilities, the types of listings available, and the roles of providers and consumers.

Key Concepts

Listings

A listing is the mechanism by which providers offer data products to consumers. Listings contain metadata (title, description, sample queries) and the actual data share.
