Using dbt artifacts for Slim CI and defer to production in dbt Projects on Snowflake (General availability)
Slim CI, defer to production, failed-execution recovery, and concurrent execution are now generally available for dbt Projects on Snowflake. Reuse dbt artifacts from recent production executions to accelerate development, streamline CI/CD workflows, and recover from failed production runs without maintaining a separate artifact store.
External secret providers (Preview)
External secret providers are now in preview. If your organization already keeps API keys, database passwords, and similar values in AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, Snowflake can read those values when a query needs them, so you don't have to maintain a second copy in a Snowflake secret .
