Snowflake Horizon Enhances Iceberg Interoperability Against Databricks Unity Catalog
Snowflake's Horizon Catalog now fully implements the Iceberg REST Catalog protocol, enabling bidirectional read/write access and secure credential vending for external Iceberg tables. This contrasts with Databricks Unity Catalog, which offers only inbound access and relies on less secure, long-lived credentials for outbound operations. This update matters for organizations seeking true data agency and reduced vendor lock-in, particularly impacting data engineers and architects managing multi-cloud or hybrid data platforms.
