Yikes! I think this is really positioned for side projects and microservices. There is a clear path to migrating to a full instance or Postgres cluster over certain usage levels, but for many cases being able to scale to zero is still economically and operationally valuable.

40Tb is a ton-o-data! Snowflake sounds like a good fit.

Yeah, they get style points for "scaling to zero". I've seen plenty of vendors who "are scalable" - but with a floor of $70k/yr.

I like their product offering - I'd be interested in using them for hobby projects, but not for work atm.
