A more focused data warehouse product that is priced on a better model and is more scalable and efficient and cheaper than any of the existing options. $500M means they'll be around longer than most of the startup customers that try them.

Anyway, at this point I'm just repeating myself so I suggest you actually try them if you care for a better model. It works for us at 600B rows of data that was too expensive with BigQuery and too slow and complicated with Redshift/Spectrum.

Sounds fair. I'm convinced to try out their service, it's good to see that they also added pricing to their website. Let's see how it's better compared to Presto as they have the similar use-case.
