Using a snowflake.yml manifest with Jinja2 templating, teams can version and deploy tables, views, and grants natively via the Snowflake CLI — eliminating reliance on third-party tools like Terraform or Flyway. The PLAN command enables dry-run previews before applying changes. Cortex Code CLI can further automate project scaffolding and GitHub Actions CI/CD setup. Benefits include built-in auditability, diff-based deployments, and git-based collaboration workflows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
