Governed data changes inside your own Snowflake account

Lodestar Data Services is one simple, safe place for business and data teams to maintain the data everything else depends on - customer segments, product and cost-centre codes, financial hierarchies, country and currency codes, cross-system mappings, and your own control tables such as price lists and thresholds.

Business users work in a familiar grid. Every change gets maker/checker approval, effective dating and a complete audit trail, and is live in your queries as soon as it is approved (or on its effective date). It is a Snowflake Native App: no servers, no connectors, no container compute, and your data stays in your account.

What you can do

  • Easy for business users: edit many rows at once, paste rows copied from Excel, upload a CSV or Excel file, filter, and export to CSV or Excel. No spreadsheets passed around, no SQL.
  • Code sets, mappings and hierarchies with typed attributes, validated on submit and on approval, and mapping suggestions - including AI similarity with Snowflake Cortex if you turn it on.
  • Your own tables, governed where they live: inserts, updates and deletes go through approval and are then written to your table, with field-level history and one-click revert.
  • Maker/checker workflow: stewards propose, admins approve; self-approval blocked by default; mandatory reasons and ticket references if you want them; comments and a My work queue.
  • Use it everywhere: always-current views for SQL, pipelines and BI, a semantic view for Cortex Analyst, a Cortex Agent in Snowflake CoWork and an MCP server for AI tools - read-only, with each user’s own access.

Low running cost

One X-Small warehouse that suspends after 60 seconds, and no compute pool. Your pipelines and BI query on your own warehouses.
