#3If you want to stop out of control spend, have your analysts learn SQL. Avoid database systems that charge per query (like tinybird) and make damn certain your people know SQL if you do. Ignore and preferably fire people who mention things like “data lakes”.

Wow, I've previously had exactly same feelings about couple of people from whom I heard "data lakes".

I always wonder, who looks at their pricing model and decides "Paying multiple dollars to query on a few GB of data sounds reasonable"?

#7Materialized Views are damn near magic for solving issues involving slow queries on for tools that don't need real time results (eg daily reporting). They essentially act as a cache of a query at a given point in time that you're able to refresh whenever you want.

Seriously? A $10k dedicated server would have a payback period measured in minutes.

#9The example shown has 14GB of data, which is absolutely tiny, yet it can still rack up $40k in costs per day if used incorrectly (i.e. less than optimal, but not egregiously wrong)? Why would you use this?

#10I can think of another way to save $40k/day: don't use this product.
