Overall I agree with the sentiment. Still a long way to go before this open stack being production ready.

I know places which are easily paying 6 to 7 figures for their “analytics” stack and big part of it is the cloud data warehouse cost.

> Would that be less than the cost of staying with AWS? I think the answer is Yes. The main advantage of Cloud computing I think is the speed to market, not the cost. Excerpt from https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/21/three-years-after-moving-o... "Dropbox still believes it made the right decision and has found innovative ways to keep costs down"
