Ben - What are some practical examples of use cases you see here over the long term?

  Hi Ethan, I see two primary use cases currently: 1. Applications which are read-heavy & serve fewer than 10,000 requests per second. 2. SaaS applications which can be sharded so that the largest customer uses 10,000 requests per second or less. Once read-only replicas functionality is added, I'm also excited about globally-distributed applications where local servers can serve users with low-latency read requests. For example, you could run a high-traffic e-commerce site with 20 PoPs spread across the world for only $100/month. Customers in India could get the same fast response times as someone in the US. I think that's pretty compelling.
