40 million flights is big data? That’s a decently sized PostgreSQL database to me.

- bastawhiz 2y agoI think it depends on how much data is stored per flight. If each flight is one record, sure. If each flight is tens of thousands of coordinates and velocities, that's a lot more. Analyzing the data from 40 million data points is very different than analyzing the data from half a trillion data points. Whether that's "big data" depends on your perspective, though, but I'm not sure I'd store quite so many records in a Postgres database.
