Thank you very much! Did you start with separate databases or wait until you needed to scale workloads separately before breaking things up?

I imagine they didn't optimize prematurely.

Not to denigrate jedberg but a lot of folks optimized prematurely before realizing they shouldn't. (I've certainly been guilty of it.)
