Problem

Capgemini Engineering wants to identify customers who are engaging frequently with its digital commerce services. Write a PostgreSQL query using CTEs to find customers with more than three purchases during the last 30 days.

For reproducible testing, interpret the period relative to PostgreSQL's CURRENT_DATE. The sample data is positioned around the current date used for evaluation.

Requirements

Use at least one CTE to isolate purchases from the last 30 days.
Join the filtered purchases to customer records.
Count purchases for each customer and return only customers with more than three purchases.
Return results ordered by purchase count descending, then customer ID ascending.
