Migrating Snowflake data to Fabric Datawarehouse

Hi NagaRK ,

Option 1 is great for near real-time reporting use cases, not bulk loads.

 Option 2 (Data Factory) is the right tool for large, one-time migrations like yours.

Do You Need a Data Gateway?

Answer:
If your Snowflake instance is accessible over the public internet (i.e., Fabric can reach it directly), you do NOT need a data gateway.

 You DON'T need a gateway if:

• Your Snowflake endpoint is public (like xyz.snowflakecomputing.com)
• You can connect to it from within Microsoft Fabric without any VPN or firewall restrictions

You DO need a gateway if:

• Snowflake is behind a corporate firewall
• It's hosted in a private network or VNet that Fabric cannot access directly
