Overall Satisfaction with Treasure Data
We leverage Treasure Data for storage of unstructured data at scale. By using a tool which does not enforce a schema to write to, we are able to capture all data of interest. As our storage needs increase exponentially, Treasure Data has the speed to respond to our needs.
- The Treasure Data team was quick to provision additional infrastructure as needed so we did not experience any downtime when we recently experienced a tremendous amount of growth in our data storage needs.
- The documentation for implementing API calls is accurate, detailed and intuitive to navigate. This leads to quicker implementation and reduced Q & A sessions as new clients are onboarded.
- Stickers... They provided us a ton of Treasure Data stickers (and not cheap ones, the nice vinyl ones). Never underestimate the importance of stickers to a developer.
- I'm personally not a fan of AWS, which is the backend provider of the hardware leveraged. I find it is less consistent in delivering the tier of performance paid for, and this then requires selecting a higher level of package to ensure minimum requirements are met. I would like to see Treasure Data provide the OPTION of choosing Google Compute Engine.
- It would be a very nice feature to have some business rule filtering applied prior to ingestion of data, with invalid records placed in a type of quarantine storage. Nit picking, I know.
- It doesn't happen often, but when multiple queries are queued, it would be nice to set a priority level for these requests so our ad-hoc requests do not hold up the regularly scheduled infrastructure requests. Perhaps UI requests should default to a level of priority less than API initiated requests.
- By choosing to use a service, instead of building and maintaining in-house, our engineers are able to spend more time improving our core products/services.
