D001 — Product name and scope

  • Status: active
  • Date: 2026-07-15

Decision

Call the product Sky Lattice. Scope is an internal platform toolkit: versioned Snowflake blueprint + per-customer intent/decisions + deterministic plan/apply on top of Terraform — not a Marketplace Native App and not “an AI that sets up Snowflake.”

Why

Snowflake is a blank slate; repeatability comes from codifying our recommended platform and tweaking per client. Existing tools (Terraform provider, SnowDDL, etc.) are engines, not our delivery recipe.

Alternatives rejected

  • Pure LLM chat each engagement with only TF state as memory
  • Replacing Terraform entirely in v0
  • Building a full SaaS control plane before a CLI+repo convention
