# Overview

Welcome to the AWS + Snowflake Data Stack Template!

This template provides everything you need to build a modern data platform on AWS and Snowflake.

<div align="center"><img src="/files/GN3B8He8yZITCy5ORGWF" alt="AWS Snowflake Stack Overview" width="600"></div>

The infrastructure is fully automated with Terraform and includes:

* An example ingestion pipeline: dlt + lambda feeding Snowflake
* A dbt project for transformations in Snowflake
* AWS Step Functions to orchestrate ingestion + transformation
* A GitHub CI workflow

The template is designed to be fully modular and customizable.

You can easily swap out any component with your preferred tools:

* Replace dlt with any other ingestion framework
* Use an alternative to dbt for transformations
* Switch to a different orchestration service instead of Step Functions
