If you had to pick one and only one #data storage solution and were forced to stick with it for the next 5 years come rain or shine, what would you choose?

@arynn just storage and not compute? Or do you mean the choice between Snowflake/BigQuery/Databricks/Starburst etc?

@jayatid bleh. I know it gets weird now with there being both. But assume those are included. I suppose "data platform" is the new vernacular.

@joereis Joe... tell me how you really feel you coward. 😂

@arynn @joereis If Joe doesn't have to choose a platform then I'm just going to go with plain old S3 or maybe the fancy new Cloudflare version.

@jayatid @joereis saw someone recently say S3 is the junk drawer for data ppl. So regurgitating that here.

@arynn @joereis they were probably one of those people that wants to do away with Data Engineering too right 😂

@jayatid @arynn @joereis nah, i think data engineering is a real thing and s3 is 100% the junk drawer for data people

@zchetchavat @arynn @joereis 💜 maybe it's not just the junk draw, it's the whole chest including the draw with the passports and valuables.

@arynn Snowflake has definitely been the most headache-free storage solution I've used recently. Bigquery can be pretty nice to use too. Conversely, Synapse was probably the most painful, with so many under-the-hood missing features at launch.
