You're very welcome, hope it helps you!

I considered Atlas as well, but I didn't like the idea of using HCL to define SQL; The srtd approach is just SQL, so aside from setup, there's nothing new to learn.

The downside of srtd vs Atlas is that Atlas (seemingly) can do your whole schema, including tables, indexes, etc. srtd only works well for idempotent operations (aka can re-run multiple times without producing a different result)

I believe you do not need to use HCL to be able to work in hybrid mode - it would be definitely a blocker for me.

Will get to testing it when getting more free time. Cool stuff! <3
