Appreciate you taking the time to reply :)

I guess the underlying tone of cynicism in my tone speaks to the question that I didn't directly ask - how often do each of the components/moving parts fail and require manual intervention/fixing?

I often get pulled into complex distributed systems and the team responsible for that flow (data or not) often have no idea where to begin.

Edit* On the point of Athena, I desperate wanted to use it but provide BigQuery to be much better in every way you could think of. It's the black sheep in the company, as every other cloud thing we have is AWS. But honestly, nothing I've found in AWS circle comes close to BigQuery.

BigQuery + Metabase is such a powerful combination. Easy, affordable, effective.
