Remember that (as things currently stand) putting the thing on labs
means meta-analytics ("how are the cubes being used?") being a pain in
the backside to integrate with our existing storage solutions.

As always,
I'd recommend that we go with tech we are familiar with --
mysql or cassandra. We have a cassandra committer on staff who would be able
to answer these questions in detail.
WMF uses PostGRES for some things, no? Or is that is just in labs?
Since this data is meant to be fully public and queryable in any way, we
could put it in the PostgreSQL instance on labs. We should check with labs
folks, perhaps horse trade some hardware, but I think that would be a
splendid solution.
However, and I'm trying to understate this in case people are not familiar
with my hyperbolic style, I'd rather drink Bud Lite Lime than use MySQL for
this. MySQL is suited for a lot of things, but analytics is not one of
them.
p.s. I will never drink Bud Lite Lime. Like, never.
