# Cloud backend support policy | ||
|
||
Ibis supports a number of proprietary cloud backends. | ||
Ibis supports and tests some of the major proprietary cloud backends: | ||
|
||
Snowflake and Databricks cost money to test in our continuous integration test suite. | ||
- Google BigQuery | ||
- Snowflake | ||
- Databricks Cloud | ||
- Amazon Athena | ||
|
||
If funding dries up, support for these backends will become best effort. | ||
**All of these services cost money to run in our continuous integration test suite.** | ||
|
||
If you're interested in ensuring continued support for a cloud backend, please | ||
consider sponsoring Ibis development. | ||
If funding for these services dries up, support for these backends will move to | ||
best effort. | ||
|
||
The cost at the time of writing (2024-10-31) is about **$5,000 USD per year** | ||
split evenly between the Snowflake and Databricks backend. | ||
If you or your company are interested in ensuring continued maintenance for one | ||
of these backends, please get in touch with us on | ||
[Zulip](https://ibis-project.zulipchat.com/), or [open a GitHub | ||
issue](https://github.com/ibis-project/ibis/issues/new) and consider sponsoring | ||
Ibis development. | ||
|
||
Google has very generously supported the entire cost of testing the BigQuery | ||
backend for a number of years. | ||
## Current cost estimates | ||
|
||
- Google BigQuery: free, donated very generously by Google | ||
- Snowflake: $2500 USD per year | ||
- Databricks Cloud: $2500 USD per year | ||
- Amazon Athena: ? |
