Agreed, we use them for a number of things and find them very reasonably priced (especially, unlimited plan is very good if you are doing 5+ million).

The analysis at end of month is simply give me 100% of the data set chunked up by ID. All analysis is done outside of the system.
Flat files is my thinking right now with S3 and prefixes per partition, I'm not sure on file format, since one thing is with each day's data being able to process and update existing data quickly. Current thought is to load current day's data to Redshift -> unload sorted by id -> process concurrently. With multiple prefixes on S3 I won't hit the rate limits. My main worry is if read in, loading/parsing each file will take too long to be scalable at 250-500 million unique id's per day. I wanted to check here before going down that route to see if anyone had a different recommendation.
I also noticed I drink a bit more water and move around a little bit more since there isn't the "get up from sitting" process.
We're a small consulting shop based in Cambridge looking to add another person to our team. We work across a number of industries from advertising to FOREX to market research. We work with clients on an ongoing basis so much of our work is improving/adding to projects we previously built.
Most of our work is based in PHP (Symfony). We're looking for someone with a couple of years of experience to join us.

Are you 100% managed investments? Or can an employee opt to pick their own investments? Do you have access to the admiral funds and are you allowing the company to chose which funds are available?
Also - I haven't used Tingo.com specifically in the past, but I haven't had much success in sites which say "book with us and if others book lower you can get a refund." Have you had good experiences with Tingo?
Rebooking is on the roadmap just wanted to get the first version out and see if there was interest in this type of product.
* Look at how to make this a risk free opportunity, money back guarantee, etc.
* Play with pricing, percentage of amount saved vs flat fee. Our biggest worry with that is trying to get someone to pay later on. As right now we aren't rebooking it, if we sent you an alert "go rebook on XYZ.com and save 500 bucks" we have no way to force you to rebook or verify if you actually got the deal we found.
We'll definitely be taking in all the feedback here and hopefully trying to work it all into the next version of this.
As for the automatic it is partially automatic. As we're gauging interest right now we haven't fully automated it.
For the pricing we're looking into different options such as taking only a %'d of amount saved, only charging if we save you money, etc. We'll be doing some testing in the very near future on different pricing models.
Let me know what you think and any feedback you have.
Looks awesome!
Appreciate it!
