You can have 8TB RAM in a 2U box for under 100K. grab a couple and it will save you millions a year compared to over-engineered bigdata setup.

Bigquery and snowflake are software. They come with a sql engine, data governance, integration with your ldap, auditing. Loading data into snowflake isn't overegineering. What you described is over-engineering.

No business is passing 6tb data around on their laptops.

So is ClickHouse your point being ? Please point out what a server being able to have 8TB of RAM has to do with laptops.

I wonder how much this costs: https://www.ibm.com/products/power-e1080

And how that price would compare to the equivalent big data solution in the cloud.
