dltHub Recognized as 2026 Snowflake Startup Program Product Partner

In a significant announcement made during Snowflake's annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2026, dltHub has been awarded the title of 2026 Snowflake Startup Program Product Partner of the Year. This innovative company is known for its contributions to the data engineering field, specifically through its open-source Python library, dlt, and its advanced data engineering platform, dltHub Pro.

The award reflects dltHub's successful integration into the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, helping numerous organizations to efficiently ingest essential data into the Snowflake environment. This includes data from legacy ERP systems, internal APIs, and undocumented databases—areas where traditional GUI-based ETL tools commonly fall short. dltHub's solutions empower a diverse range of industries to operate compliant and governed data pipelines by seamlessly integrating into their existing infrastructures.

Over 1,000 organizations have already adopted dlt in their Snowflake production environments. Notably, companies like Stellantis manage 60,000 Snowflake pipelines monthly on a dlt-powered platform, while Sparebank1 benefits from dlt as the standard ingestion layer within an alliance of independent banks. The Flatiron Health team also saw significant cost reductions, slashing their pipeline expenses by 50% post-transitioning to a dlt and Snowflake combination.

Recently, dltHub introduced a Snowflake Native App capable of replicating data from MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, all while operating within the user's Snowflake account. This seamless execution eliminates the need for an external orchestrator, advancing the reliability of data management processes further.

In addition, dltHub has earned industry competencies within Snowflake across various sectors, including Financial Services, Technology, Manufacturing, and Healthcare. This progress affirms dltHub's pivotal role in driving innovation and efficiency in data operations.

dltHub Pro represents the agentic data engineering platform that simplifies the process of building data pipelines. By utilizing advanced AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, developers can effortlessly identify data sources, construct pipelines, validate them locally, and deploy into production—all with a single command. Upon integration into Snowflake, the AI assistant CoCo further enhances the process by generating SQL, building Streamlit applications, and configuring Cortex Analyst Semantic Views tailored to the incoming data.

CEO and Co-Founder Matthaus Krzykowski elaborated on the award’s significance: "This recognition supports our long-held belief that the data engineering future is centered on code-first approaches, primarily in Python, increasingly designed with the assistance of AI agents. Our goal is to empower organizations to maximize their data value, ensuring even non-traditional sources can be reliably integrated into Snowflake."

Highlights of dltHub Pro include its enhanced capabilities that allow mid-level data engineers at consultancies to analyze client data sources in real time during meetings, deploying production-ready pipelines into Snowflake within the same day. For instance, a data lead at a non-profit organization quickly directed an AI agent towards a complex legacy ERP comprising 1,231 undocumented tables, managing to establish pipelines in just hours instead of weeks.

January 2026 statistics reveal that AI agents were responsible for constructing 91% of the 81,000 newly created dlt pipelines, showcasing a significant shift towards automation compared to just 10% of human contributions last year.

Reflecting on dltHub's innovations, Amy Kodl, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Alliances & Channels at Snowflake, remarked, "dltHub is a fantastic example of how participants in our Snowflake for Startups program can evolve into valuable product partners. They have enabled thousands of AI-native developers, particularly within regulated industries, to create reliable, governed data structures."

Conclusion

With a robust foundation in open-source technologies and a focus on collaborative success with Snowflake, dltHub stands poised to redefine data engineering practices and enhance operational efficiencies across various sectors. As recognized leaders in the AI Data Cloud, dltHub continues to innovate, ensuring that companies are equipped with the tools required to navigate the complex world of data management and analytics.
