maybe this is silly but these days cloud resources are so cheap. just loading up instances and putting this stuff into memory and processing it is so fast and scalable. even if you have billions of things to process daily you can just split if needed.

you can keep things synced across databases easily and keep it super duper simple.

Yeah you can get an AMD 9454P with 1TB of memory and 20TB of redundant NVME storage for like 1000$ a month, its crazy how cheap compute and storage is these days.

If people are building things which actually require massive amounts of data stored in databases they should be able to charge accordingly.

It's not really my experience that cloud resources are very cheap.
