Pretty sure we're in your target market. We [0] currently use GCP Filestore to host DuckDB. Here's the pricing and performance at 10 TiB. Can you give me an idea on the pricing and performance for Regatta?
Service Tier: Zonal
Location: us-central1
10 TiB instance at $0.35/TiB/hr
Monthly cost: $2,560.00
Performance Estimate:
Read IOPS: 92,000
Write IOPS: 26,000
Read Throughput: 2,600 MiB/s
Write Throughput: 880 MiB/s

- huntaub 2y agoYes, you should be in our target market. I don't think that I can give a cost estimate without having a good sense of what percentage of your data you're actively using at any given time, but we should absolutely support the performance numbers that you're talking about. I'd love to chat more in detail, feel free to send me a note at hleath [at] regattastorage.com.
- mritchie712 2y agoI'll send you a note! Found this in the docs: > By default, Regatta file systems can provide up to 10 Gbps of throughput and 10,000 IOPS across all connected clients. Is that the lower bound? The 50 TiB filestore instance has 104 Gbps read through put (albeit at a relatively high price point).
- huntaub 2y agoThat's just the limit that we apply to new file systems. We should be able to support your 104 Gbps of read throughput.
- _bare_metal 2y agoOut of curiosity, why not go bare metal in a managed colocation? Is that for the geographic spread? Or unpredictable load? Every few months of this spend is like buying a server Edit: back at my pc and checked, relevant bare metal is ~$500/m, amortized: https://baremetalsavings.com/c/LtxKMNj https://baremetalsavings.com/c/LtxKMNj Edit 2: for 100tb..
- mritchie712 2y agoagreed, one month of 50 TiB is $12,800! we're using Filestore out of convenience right now, but actively exploring alternatives.
- nine_k 2y agoHiring someone who knows how to manage bare metal (with failover and stuff) may take time %)
- wongarsu 2y agoYou pay a datacenter to put it in a rack and add connect power and uplinks, then treat it like a big ec2 instance (minus the built-in firewall). Now you just need someone who knows how to secure an ec2 instance and run your preferred software there (with failover and stuff). If you run a single-digit number of servers and replace them every 5 years you will probably never get a hardware failure. If you're unlucky and it still happens get someone to diagnose what's wrong, ship replacement parts to the data center and pay their tech to install them in your server. Bare metal at scale is difficult. A small number of bare metal servers is easy. If your needs are average enough you can even just rent them so you don't have capital costs and aren't responsible for fixing hardware issues.

- swyx 2y agosounds like an opportunity for someone (you?) to offer an abstraction slightly above bare metal to do the stuff you said to do, charging higher than bare metal but lower than the other stuff. how much daylight is there between those prices?
- nthh 2y agoI'm sure there are companies in this space providing private clouds on bare metal, I wonder how that would be to operate at scale though.
