> we run on Azure SQL Hyperscale, which we maxed out at 80 cores for almost two weeks
the data challenge is interesting here. there's clearly a lot of data - but really its just emails and passwords you need to keep track of. SQL feels like overkill that will be too slow and cost you too much. are there better solutions?
15 billion records of email+password, assume ~40bytes thats roughly 600GB
should be searchable with a an off-the-shelf server.
of course, im oversimplifying the problem. but I'm not clear why any solution to insert new records would take 2 weeks...
