The foundation of the Snowflake Native App Framework centers on the provider and consumer paradigm, a concept integral to various Snowflake features such as Snowflake Collaboration and Secure Data Sharing.

Provider:
A provider is a Snowflake user aiming to share both data content and application logic with fellow Snowflake users.

Consumer:
On the other hand, a consumer is a Snowflake user seeking to access the shared data content and application logic provided by other Snowflake users.
