So, before I start with my question not sure if it's a right question to be posted in this forum. Consider we have a database which stores the configurational data of devices. For example consider in a home we have multiple devices like Television, AC, Geyser, Washing machine, Dish washer etc. Now, all of these devices will obviously not be installed on one day, these might be bought and installed over a period of time. This data can be stored in Sql, databrick, Neo4j etc any Sql or No Sql database, is it possible to use lakeFS on top of the underlying database to know when the new devices were installed in a particular house considering the snapshot is taken whenever there is a change in configuration in the house. Basically the configuration snapshot or device details are taken as snapshot on timely manner, so need to know if there is any difference between two snapshots?

Hey @Shirish katti, welcome to lakeFS lakefs #C02CV7MUV4G is exactly the right forum for these kind of questions 🙂 lakeFS is an open source data version control for data lakes, normally Amazon S3, Azure blob storage / data lake, Google cloud storage, etc. lakeFS currently does not provide versioning on top of databases, like the ones you mentioned. If you consider storing your data in an object-store/data lake, you’ll be able to use lakeFS for snapshots of your data, diffing between snapshots and the full data version control version lakeFS provides.

Thanks for the quick response. We are open to use data lake as we are still in initial phase of coming up with a solution architecture. I have requested for demo and discussion with lakeFS engineering team. Will look forward to join the call and discuss to get more insights.
