thanks, but at 5 bucks an hour for an entry-level instance (single 12GB GPU) I'm looking at 120 bucks a day if I don't want to constantly re-upload my dataset into MapD (a very slow operation judging by Mark Litwintschik's posts linked by you). That's a very very high price for such a modest hardware configuration, not to mention the more credible one which goes for an eye-watering 30 bucks an hour ie not much change from a grand a day. Not for us startup folk, clearly.
I have to say it seems your pricing for such a new entrant and before having built share, is bound to attract very stiff newcomer competition. "Interesting" business model.
- felipe_aramburu 10y agoYou could try BlazingDB if what you are interested is the gpu powered SQL component. There is a free community edition available here: https://docs.blazingdb.com/docs/quickstart-guide-to-blazingdb https://docs.blazingdb.com/docs/quickstart-guide-to-blazingd... You can install this on AWS or on your own infrastructure (I run this on my laptop for example).
- tmostak 10y agoMapD has a persistent store and normally customers would keep that on an EBS volume, so they don't have to reload their data every time they spin up an AWS instance.
- vegabook 10y agofair enough but software cost 3-4x the (already high) hourly hardware cost seems excessive.
- wingless 10y agoIf you find this too pricey, then build a cheaper or free competitor.

- ruw1090 10y agovery interesting. Do you have a link to documentation? I'd like to take a look before I try it out.
