Yup, experiencing that at work quite a bit. People are currently arguing about big data solutions for a data set of 300Gb or so, growth in the area of 100ish Gb / year. I'm still arguing that this could be an in-memory dataset for postgres, and we wouldn't need that with a good schema.

Or other people are wondering if we could replace all of our relational databases with kafka. While complaining about inconsistent data sets. Well let's talk about advantages of a good relational schema first.

Maybe I'm turning into a grumpy old admin/DBA... but mariadb or postgres used well just solve so many problems.
