# Data Storage

DataBee offers two flexible data storage options to meet your infrastructure needs:

## Option 1: Snowflake Integration

Connect your existing Snowflake account to DataBee. With this option:

- **Leverage your Snowflake compute:** DataBee uses your Snowflake resources for both data ingestion and querying to power the UI
- **Maintain control:** Your data and compute resources remain within your Snowflake environment

## Option 2: Cloud Object Storage (Iceberg Format)

Bring your own cloud object storage with Iceberg table format. With this option:

- **Use your cloud storage:** Store data in your AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage
- **DataBee handles compute:** All data ingestion and querying is managed by DataBee's compute infrastructure
- **Separation of storage and compute:** Enjoy the flexibility of managing storage independently while DataBee processes your data

## Choosing the Right Option

Select **Snowflake Integration** if you already have Snowflake and want to utilize your existing compute resources and spend.

Choose **Cloud Object Storage** if you prefer to manage your own storage layer and do not already have a cloud platform
