This is the first time I've come across the approach of storing database snapshots and saving them in a data lake. Do you find those snapshots are useful/used for analytics or data science end-uses, or are they more there for debugging and answering one-off questions?

I have personally only used them for debugging one off questions. That was my original intent. We do have teams that are considering using the snapshots for ML problems.
