In Snowflake, I am now writing Python Stored Procedures that make REST API calls to things like Datadog REST API and dumping the JSON into a Snowflake table. I then unpack the JSON and transform it into a normalized table. So far it works reasonably well. This is possible using Snowflake's external access feature. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/external-netwo...

Right, but isn't snowflake like the most expensive way to run python? why not just host the python outside of snowflake and store it there?

It is to take advantage of snowpark.
