And white papers are full of it. Has random things like s Cassandra cluster needs 1 full time engineer per 100 nodes. Where do you come up with this stuff?

In my experience of Cassandra (working on an application client, not managing it), one FTE per hundred nodes is extremely generous.

Do you mean that you typically need more engineers, or less?

The former. One FTE per dozen nodes is more in line with what I've seen in practice.
