DuckDB has a lot of hype for its speed and UX.
But for building our latest quarterly report on cloud spending, we found clickhouse-local to be 3X faster on most queries.

At one point they were adding 5000 servers a day on AWS.
Truly a capability that is impossible without the cloud.

Since I started working on startups it’s been a dream to be a part of one with product market fit.
@JoinVantage

This line of reasoning is why AWS, Azure, GCP etc are so excited about AI.
Not because it drives first order AI spend but because AI drives overall cloud adoption from on prem.

The Terraform snippet below does a few things:
- it connects to AWS
- it creates a folder called 'AWS Costs'
- it creates a cost report for showing AWS costs
Welcome to FinOps as Code 😁
🚀So amped for this: Vantage Launches Automated Cost Reporting via Terraform
You can now model 'FinOps as Code' in Terraform and auto-create Vantage resources like Cost Reports, Filters, Dashboards and Folders.

Ready to make a fool of myself but:
$56K leftover after housing and taxes is significantly different than $56K salary.
Also that $16M is compounding at 7%/year. So in 10 years that dividend is more like $500K.
