Hi, I was excited to discover metaflow today since I had been thinking it'd be great to have a 'serverless' workflow orchestration that deployed to AWS Step Functions... and to find that this exists and is quite mature! Some questions re deploying to my own AWS infra... the "admin docs" point to Outerbounds, and they point to https://github.com/outerbounds/metaflow-tools/tree/master/aws/cloudformation this sets up an RDS Postgres db is this required, and is it possible to use MySQL instead? AFAICT the website docs don't mention needing an SQL db at all the CF template says its for the Metadata Service but https://outerbounds.com/engineering/service-architecture/#metadata says it uses the Datastore and https://outerbounds.com/engineering/service-architecture/#datastore says that uses S3 ?
