2023 January Update

The number of users in January 2023 remained stable, with one exception. For nine days, starting on January 16, the default rendezvous method based on domain fronting was blocked in some networks in Iran. Because, at the moment, the majority of Snowflake users are in Iran, this caused a notable decrease in the number of users. Snowflake developers published instructions for how to use an alternative rendezvous method, but the blocking was anyway lifted on January 24.
