Cute. We actually built a data lake (with Python and MySQL) and immediately found problems we weren't even aware of, like (as I mentioned above) people getting the same email multiple times in the same day.
When our sysadmin left, we migrated all our websites from leased hardware servers to cloud hosting and were able to use that head count to hire a developer instead, who has built great new web apps for staff and customers.
I understand the temptation to be cynical, but these really are useful tools. I say embrace change; it's fun.
