I wonder what's the performance and cost hit of storing data in S3?
From the blog post: "the fastest baseline here is ClickHouse server running on an AWS m5d.24xlarge instance that uses 48 threads for query execution. As you can see, an equivalent cloud service with 48 threads performs very well in comparison for a variety of simple and complex queries represented in the benchmark" so there can be a small difference depending on the sizing but it's something to consider on a case per case basis and often other dimensions need to be taken into account (operational cost, bottomless storage, linear scalability, reliability etc.).
Basically, we're looking for the person who has at least some expertise with operating CH in production and paying big money. In four month offering $6K-$7K/month we've got ziltch.
