Yes exactly. A rational response to this is to delete your FB account.

Joe's a really nice guy. Have you ever worked with him or been in a meeting with him? Sorry, this type of ad-hominem attack really does not belong here.

"Third party vendor". Is this Qubole? If so, would be nice to give him an Internet high-five by naming them :)

Spelling error in video is a big red flag for me. "Expidited" should be "expedited".

It's a thing in Seattle. One of my friends lives in a wonderful neighborhood in South Bellevue. Multi million dollar homes. At least 40% sitting empty.

Be oh so careful. We ran into issues with alpine node images that would only show up in minimal images like that. Switched to Debian and never looked back.

We use urlbox.io and are really happy with it. Don't recommend building this yourself.

(product person at Appuri in Seattle) We work with customer data, so lots of time-series. We use SQL for exploration and feature engineering. Model-building happens inside a Docker container that runs on ECS. Scores and predictions are inse

This, SOOO much this! Please don't enter the morass that is Hadoop / Hive / Presto / Spark [esp. Spark] unless you really, really need to. Redshift sounds really good for your needs.

George - fan of Fivetran. What, in your opinion, are common cases where customers choose BQ over Redshift? Or is it really a function of which cloud you're on?

We use Amazon Redshift a lot. The biggest pain point is its lack of elasticity and strong coupling between compute and storage. You can see this pattern emerging in warehouses from Azure and Snowflake. I fear that Redshift will never get th

This was exactly my reaction. The tips around Amazon Redshift were spot-on including a few obscure-but-critical ones e.g. the one about many small tables taking up a ton of disk space!

@rjurney - we started with ECS right around when DCOS was coming out of alpha (?). Anyway, it looks slick!

Yes. This is pretty much what we saw.

@SteveWatson - thanks for reporting, should be fixed now.

@yeukhon - for the performance you get, Redshift is quite affordable. Keep in mind it's an always-on data warehouse - there's really no way to make it much cheaper than AWS does because they're incurring compute costs. What a

>Another annoying thing not mentioned in the article is that the default AMI used for ECS is not at all production ready, you really have to bake your own images if you want something usable. I suppose this is maybe because there's

@madeofpalk, I haven't seen that, actually. I'll look into it.

There are lots of cases where AWS builds services that are not revolutionary but purely evolutionary. Consider Amazon Redshift, their data warehouse. You would _think_ Redshift, with its poor elasticity and tight coupling of compute and sto

HN, I'm a co-founder at Appuri. Happy to answer questions! PS: We LOVE most AWS services like Amazon Redshift. Just not ECS ;)

I have vivid memories of working on Longhorn as an intern. It was an incredibly ambitious project - rewrite of the "filesystem" (really, a relational object store!), driver framework and display stack to name a few. The project fa
