You have 100gb, the last thing you need is anything more than the absolute minimum in infrastructure overhead. My advice is plain and simple, use Vertica Community Edition. Vertica is, in my opinion, the best possible technology in these scenarios. Vertica Community Edition is free for up to 3 nodes, and up to 1TB of data. It is the fastest columnar datastore I have used, and once you learn some of the tips and tricks it just works. I make no money from Vertica, I am not in any way shape or form compensated by them. Dump your data into Vertica, stand up a few servers, and forget about querying infrastructure until your data grows 10x. https://www.vertica.com/register/ https://www.vertica.com/register/ I do however own some stock in Domino Data Lab. The actual challenges of coordinating a data science team are tough. Making sure there is a single project repository, one place to manage history, etc. I would consider looking into Domino Data Lab. They have a ton of experience helping teams like yours leverage a data science platform. It's good tech. https://www.dominodatalab.com/ https://www.dominodatalab.com/ TL/DR - Dump your data in Vertica. Find a DS platform that helps you collaborate, Domino Data Lab can be that platform.
