Aside from Flink, what other tools or frameworks is Pinterest using for data ingestion? I assume that not all of Pinterest's data sources are real-time. Do you have any insight into how they handle batch loading of database or file-based data into Snowflake or Iceberg? Are they leveraging Snowflake to ingest data into managed Iceberg tables? Additionally, where does Pinterest use Iceberg for table storage compared to storing data internally within Snowflake?
This provides a helpful overview, but it doesn't quite capture the full picture.

Thanks for commenting and your questions are great, but I am afraid due to lack of information available publicly I might not have all the answers.
Spark is available for batch processes and it works with Iceberg.
Snowflake is used only in enterprise analytics team, so it is very specific use case.
I would recommend you to checkout the provided source links.
Lastly, correct this article is high level.
