Files arrive in an external stage every 10 seconds from a proprietary system.

The requirement is for the data to be accessible as quickly as possible after it arrives in the external stage with minimal coding effort.

Option A:Snowpipe with auto-ingest is a service that continuously loads data as it arrives in the stage. With auto-ingest, Snowpipe automatically detects new files as they arrive in a cloud stage and loads the data into the specified Snowflake table with minimal delay and no intervention required. This is an ideal low-maintenance solution for the given scenario where files are arriving at a very high frequency.

Option E:Using a combination of a task and a stream allows for real-time change data capture in Snowflake. A stream records changes (inserts, updates, and deletes) made to a table, and a task can be scheduled to trigger on a very short interval, ensuring that changes are processed into the dashboard tables as they occur.
