For numbers like that, I can never tell whether it's just a vastly larger-scale dataset than any that I've seen as a non-FAANG engineer, OR, a hilariously-wasteful application of "mAnAgEd cLoUd sErViCeS" to a job that I could do on a $200/month EC2 instance with one sinatra app running per core. This is a made-up comparison of course, not a specific claim. But I've definitely run little $40 k8s clusters that replaced $800/month paid services and never even hit 60% CPU.
