For companies like Pinterest, where data storage isn't the core business, should the focus be on building in-house data warehouses or leveraging managed service

For companies like Pinterest, where data storage isn't the core business, should the focus be on building in-house data warehouses or leveraging managed service providers (MSPs)? While building in-house offers control and customization, MSPs can potentially address complexity and infrastructure costs. Can someone from Pinterest comment on specific performance needs (SLOs) that influenced their choice between TiDB and other solutions, including managed services? Considering complexity and cost, could an MSP have addressed their needs effectively?
