Hello Harsh,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have some doubts that we will go with
Snowflake. First of it's written in Scala, which I'm not familiar
with. I'm planning to learn it, but that's another story. More
importantly it doesn't seem too well documented. This doesn't make a
good combination.

I think it's an option to consider/learn from. I'm exploring what
could be the best solution right now.

Thanks,
