Each with ~200 events.

We need a 12 node cassandra cluster for this, with 64cpu nodes. So no, it's not a couple of services and a postgres.

Sales team, as we are an enterprise, and they want to extract money from us.

We run many hundreds of thousands of these a day.

Temporal was a bad fit for us, and we regret it deeply.
