On: Streaming Cassandra at WePay

Ha, $500k/year is the amount a salesperson can knock off the cost of Teradata 100TB setup without calling their boss.

As for ops stuff, I guess YMMV. We’ve never had any significant issues. Tuning is the same or less than on-prem systems IME.

Perf is still pretty much unmatched in the cloud, especially perf/$. Try to do a join on 100tb in a competing system (e.g. BQ) and it won’t finish.
