This definitely stood out to me when I was working with a lot of Snowflake’s new products, especially their “native apps”.

I started on some bespoke tooling given the lack of everything that you mentioned and at the time was thinking about how to productize it / turn it into some open source tools but I’ve not gotten back around to it since leaving that job.

I had a really great experience working with sqlglot from Tobiko Data https://tobikodata.com/ — haven’t had a chance to check out their sqlmesh project yet but I have some faith in their work.

Yeah seconding sqlglot, has saved me _tons_ of time. I think yeah, they're smart and onto something here.
