Branched Storage on Snowflake
We're rolling out branched storage to all Snowflake projects as preparation for Branches 2.0 — our upcoming upgrade featuring approval workflows, conflict resolution, and storage schema change tracking.
Branched storage gives each development branch its own isolated storage environment, separate from production. This ensures branch work never interferes with your main pipeline's data.
What's Happening
March 31, 2026: Branched storage will be automatically enabled for all Snowflake projects with no active branches.
Action required if you have active branches:
- Delete any unused branches before March 31st and we'll enable branched storage automatically on March 31st
You can also enable it manually:
- Delete all active branches
- Go to Settings → Branches
- Toggle on branched storage
Migration deadline: June 16, 2026
If branched storage isn't enabled by this date, we'll enable it automatically and remove any remaining active branches. Reminders will be sent before this happens.
Why This Matters
For your current workflow:
- Clean separation between branch and production data
- Eliminates risk of accidental data overlap during development
For what's coming (Branches 2.0):
- Approval workflows for merge requests
- Better conflict resolution tools
- Storage schema change tracking
- Prerequisite for the new branch features
