Hey. I'm one of the "guys from SunGard", although I'm no longer there. The longer version is this: https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/pdf/ConsolidatedAuditTrail... . A lot of it is related to the use case, but yeah, Bigtable handled pretty much whatever we wanted to throw at it. No other cloud provider can offer this sort of scale and performance right now without a ton of manual management or significant compromises, something that seems to have yet to sink in (although few companies need the scale we went up to).

It did take a lot more work than "a couple weekends" though :).
