Snowflake is the big well-known user, but it seems there are many smaller production users as well.
I'm planning to migrate to it. It's quite simply the best distributed database out there today.
- meowtimemania 3y agoWould you self host foundationDB? It seems there aren't many providers.
- jwr 3y agoYes, definitely! I have been self-hosting everything for years now, and I'm very happy. Even a three-machine bare-metal cluster has impressive computing power and is difficult to grow out of. I can't envision growing out of a five-machine cluster. I found higher-level solutions (like AWS) to be slow, complicated and expensive, and I really can't see any reasons to use them.
