DESCRIPTION
The customer is the fortune 100 diversified global insurer with headquarters in Boston, MA.

The focus of this project is the greenfield development of Singularity application. This application will be a go-to solution for our customer Data scientists to create new data analysis environments in the Amazon cloud.

• Store queries in some storage (later on they want to be able to load the queries)
• Request and validate user access to a data set
• Select the columns/tables (SQL) they want and codify as SQL
• Provision the data set to Cortex for their analytics
• Publish the resultant data back to the Data Platform and register in Singularity
