temporal_thr321··on Building durable workflows on Postgres
Not a couple hundred in one day, a couple hundred being started, concurrently, every second in a day. Each with ~200 events.

We need a 12 node cassandra cluster for this, with 64cpu nodes. So no, it's not a couple of services and a postgres.

Sales team, as we are an enterprise, and they want to extract money from us.

I was not clear; I did not mean not 200 a day, it's 10s of thousands of concurrently running workflows, sometimes into the hundreds of thousands, each with 200 events. We run many hundreds of thousands of these a day.

Temporal was a bad fit for us, and we regret it deeply.
