Streamlit Application – A Faster Way to Manage Matillion Pipelines

Overview

In the fast-moving world of data operations, teams need more than just pipelines—they need visibility, control, and speed.

In our case, the Analytics team for one our clients needed a way to easily view their ETL pipelines, kick off ETL jobs, view job history to spot patterns, and cancel hanging jobs. All from an intuitive UI without needing to juggle multiple tabs, make multiple API calls or dig through logs.

Enter Streamlit on Snowflake.

What is Streamlit?

Snowflake Streamlit brings data apps directly into the Snowflake ecosystem. Enabling teams to build and deploy interactive dashboards, data visualizations, and applications—all without moving data out of the warehouse. By combining Snowflake’s secure, scalable data platform with Streamlit’s simplicity, data engineers and analysts can create real-time, shareable apps for pipeline monitoring, analytics, and business insights in just a few lines of Python.

The Solution

From a simple UI, both Data Engineers or Analytic Engineers can:

• Run pipelines with an optional Execution Tag to avoid duplicates. 
• Live monitor status with progress, timestamps, and messages. 
• Cancel executions when needed. 
• See recent history for quick triage. 
• Explore trends with KPIs, filters, and a grouped-bar chart. 
• Auto‑fetch on first load so the dashboard shows data immediately.
