Summary
Calls out that S3-compatible storage is required at startup and Lightdash will fail to boot without it.
Changes
S3_ENDPOINT,S3_BUCKET, andS3_REGIONare mandatory and that all warehouses (including Snowflake) now fetch async query results from S3.Context
Source PR lightdash/lightdash#23658 makes S3 required at boot and removes the Snowflake-without-S3 fallback path, so every warehouse uniformly fetches async query results from S3. The existing env-vars reference already marked these variables as required; this update surfaces the fail-fast behavior on the setup guide users actually follow.
