The "serverless" angle is super compelling for us. We don't have a lot of time to think about this kind of thing. Being able to go from 0 to 100TB with compute/storage scaling automagically is simply bananas value. I don't really care what it costs anymore. I know the herd will mostly protect us with regard to pricing (our utilization is paltry compared to advertised use cases).
I totally get the HTAP argument now. I have absolutely zero anxiety about some rogue select causing trouble in a reporting context because of how trivial everything became. Things like adding read replicas for one-off reporting needs is a non-event now.

- endisneigh 3y agoThough serverless is compelling, the few cases where I've actually seen someone need the sudden increase in compute with both Firestore and DynamoDB, it failed to deliver performantly. That being said this was in the 2010s, I'm sure things have improved by now.
