The Magic of Tiered Storage - Lightboard Video

The eccentric new Minister of Magic (representing a cost-sensitive cloud solution) has issued a mandate that all wizards must lug around every single item they might need at all times. The paraphernalia is kept in weighty trunks, requiring Hippogriffs and elf buddies for transportation, mirroring the burdensome cost and performance issues related to scaling storage. Neha Pawar and Tim Berglund solve this issue in their newest lightboard video using Tiered Storage in Apache Pinot?.?

The video premieres on 6/6, 11:30 AM PST - Watch here!
