## Overview

Snowflake's unique architecture physically separates but logically integrates storage, compute, and services, offering virtually unlimited concurrent capabilities.

## Configuration

Snowflake requires specifying a warehouse and role setup.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prerequisites">
    Create a specific service account user, role, warehouse, and database within Snowflake.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Environment">
    Supply the variables to your `.env` settings:

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash .env theme={null}
      SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT="locator" # e.g. xyz12345.us-east-1
      SNOWFLAKE_USER="arivu_service_account"
      SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD="super_secret_password"
      SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE="COMPUTE_WH"
      SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE="ARIVU_DB"
      SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA="PUBLIC"
      SNOWFLAKE_ROLE="ARIVU_ROLE"
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>
