It always cracks me up what people consider "big data" to be. I once wrote a few Julia scripts to process terabytes of data from the results of molecular dynamics simulations. Just spin up a few high-memory cloud instances, process for a couple hours, and then shut down. Total cost: about $12. It's amazing what a couple billion CPU cycles per second can do. All without Hadoop, Spark, etc.
