01
Every small operational process turns into a custom app request.
Operational data apps
Launch Snowflake-native operational apps without building a bespoke CRUD tool each time.
EntryLayer productizes the repeated pattern behind internal data apps: source selection, form generation, work queues, permissions, workflow states, audit history, and extraction.
Best fit
Where this usually starts.
For platform and data teams asked to build app-like workflows around tables that already live in Snowflake.
02
Generic internal-tool builders require a separate hosting, security, and data movement story.
03
Business owners need a focused workspace, not a blank app canvas or SQL worksheet.
EntryLayer outcome
A working interface without moving the process elsewhere.
- Create reusable project workspaces from Snowflake tables, views, semantic views, CSV, Excel, or blank forms.
- Configure forms, child records, workflow, permissions, validation, and archive behavior.
- Keep normal product use aligned to the Snowflake Native App boundary.
- Give teams a concrete app-layer path beyond dashboards and one-off developer frameworks.
Operational data apps
Runtime
Runs inside Snowflake
EntryLayer is delivered as a Snowflake Native App on Snowpark Container Services, not as a separate hosted SaaS data plane.
State
Hybrid Tables app state
Projects, forms, submissions, memberships, workflow history, audit activity, and billing ledger state live in Snowflake Hybrid Tables.
Source access
Caller-rights reads
Customer-owned source reads use Restricted Caller Rights where supported, so Snowflake grants and policies remain central.
Next step
Start with the exception-review demo, then map it to a real customer workflow.
The pilot path is intentionally narrow: pick one Snowflake-backed exception queue, create the form and review workflow, and prove the handoff can stay auditable.
