### Bug description 🐛 As of May 8, 2025, the snowflake-sqlalchemy library has officially transitioned to maintenance mode and has ceased active development. According to the official documentation, support is now limited strictly to critical bugs and security vulnerabilities. Snowflake currently recommends using the **snowflake-connector-python** directly or transitioning to supported alternatives where applicable. Given Superset's reliance on SQLAlchemy dialects, this raises a concern regarding long-term support, feature compatibility, and security for Snowflake connections within Superset. ### Sources: - Superset Documentation: [Connecting to Databases - Snowflake ](https://superset.apache.org/docs/configuration/databases#snowflake) - PyPI Project Status: [snowflake-sqlalchemy](https://pypi.org/project/snowflake-sqlalchemy/) - Snowflake Recommendation: [Snowflake Python Connector Documentation](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/python-connector/python-connector-install) ### Reproduction Steps - Review the current requirements or setup.py in the Superset repository. - Observe the dependency on snowflake-sqlalchemy. - Consult the official snowflake-sqlalchemy PyPI page or documentation regarding its maintenance status. ### Expected Behavior Superset should have a roadmap or strategy to address this deprecation, whether by: - Updating the Snowflake database engine spec to align with Snowflake's new recommendations. - Identifying a community-maintained fork or alternative SQLAlchemy dialect for Snowflake. ### Screenshots/recordings <img width="1350" height="779" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c4a3c247-6c6f-4bec-a27b-f195e2528a16"; /> <img width="1588" height="502" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e8f50208-6a5b-4f6a-89d6-efaf1b708de0"; /> ### Superset version master / latest-dev ### Python version 3.11 ### Node version 16 ### Browser Chrome ### Additional context _No response_ ### Checklist - [x] I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem. - [x] I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report. - [x] I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
