Billing Considerations#

The Native Apps integrate Streamlit for the application interface. Snowflake credits are consumed when the interface is active.

For more details, please refer to Billing Considerations for Streamlit in Snowflake.

Rate Limiting#

The Native Apps follow the same rate limits as the corresponding API endpoints. Please refer to Cloud API Rate Limiting for more details.

Throughput Performance#

The Native Apps utilize Snowflake’s infrastructure to process input data and manage output data seamlessly within the Snowflake platform. Some latency can be expected due to Snowflake’s security mechanisms, which may result in slightly slower performance compared to direct API requests.
