Comment on Fivetran to acquire Censusparent

Comments

Yes, we've had many bigquery / snowflake converts. The reality is, most companies don't have 100tb of data (which is what those platforms are optimized for). Motherduck has a good post[0] on this:

There were many thousands of customers who paid less than $10 a month for storage, which is half a terabyte. Among customers who were using the service heavily, the median data storage size was much less than 100 GB.

I'm a fan of what motherduck is doing. We're building something different (opinionated, instant data stack), but yes, we both use duckdb under the hood.
