A data warehouse?
Ingesting raw data != a data warehouse.
I presume their cron jobs are significantly more complicated than that, implementing their domain logic in functions, which will not scale well into an easy to maintain system over time as all database function implementations do… or, what they’ve built is something…
…but that thing is not a data warehouse. It’s just a database.
