Hi @jerive , you're right that this is indeed a bug. We're planning on fixing this in a patch release soon (hopefully this week)

More context: The AWS Feature Server dockerfile doesn't install the
snowflakeextra, and feast by design eagerly loads the offline store.Ideally, we should instantiate the offline store lazily so that we don't load it in environments like feature serving, where it's not neeeded.
