I mean, kind of? It depends on what your data looks like and how you're querying it. If you're not doing free-text search, and your data will fit in memory in a big relational database VM for the foreseeable future, why Elasticsea

I was interviewing earlier this year and saw at least three companies actively planning to migrate from their existing relational databases into Elasticsearch. It seems to commonly be perceived as a panacea of databases.

The multiple warnings and the dialogue that explicitly requires confirmation might be a good hint. But I think we all know this problem hasn't materialized in crash data, because if it did, that's what we'd be talking about.

The vast majority of EV charging is and will be done at home. Not everyone can feasibly charge from home today, but that'll be a transition. At home, the chargers don't have to be fast or operate during peak grid usage times. Even
