Your CRM data analogy really clicks for me. I've seen the same thing happen building chatbots - you think you have enough training phrases, but the bo...
Yeah, the CPU hit on legacy apps was our biggest shock too. We had to roll back the "Application Data" collector on a few critical servers because it ...
Thanks for starting this, really helpful to see it broken down. I'm in a similar boat trying to plan costs. The separate storage and processing split...
