+[Snowflake](https://www.snowflake.com/) is a single, cross-cloud platform that enables every organization to mobilize their data with Snowflake’s Data Cloud. [Snowflake Horizon Catalog](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-horizon) is the universal catalog built into every Snowflake account, providing governance, metadata, and interoperability for Apache Iceberg across engines and clouds. Snowflake supports [Snowflake-managed Iceberg Tables](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-iceberg#use-snowflake-as-the-iceberg-catalog) with full DDL and DML support and an [Iceberg REST API endpoint](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-iceberg-access-using-external-query-engine-snowflake-horizon) that lets external query engines such as Apache Spark, Trino, and Apache Flink read and write those tables directly. For federation, [catalog-linked databases](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-iceberg-catalog-linked-database) provide automatic table discovery and synchronization with remote Iceberg REST catalogs, and read and write access through [catalog integrations for externally managed Iceberg Tables](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tables-iceberg#use-an-external-catalog).
