Like I said, in the scale compared to actual high frequency data though, that's still be infrequent.
High frequency DBs are on the scale of many queried per second
Even with tonnes of data scientists and engineers querying the data, that's still in the scale of queries per minute, which is low frequency in the data world.
I wouldn't put it past them to experience numbers in the per second realm, especially as new data posts and everyone is rushing to grab it.
