FWIW what we see are whole different categories of workloads. For primarily API-driven microservice workloads, ETL of data stores into Snowflake makes sense. But for primarily batch or stream workloads- implemented literally as batches or as data streams that have varying unit-of-work semantics, and where the target data model isn't read only analytics but read write operational- something like Spark can make a lot of sense.
