   England Vs Argentina last night was *busy*! Easily the busiest ever live event on the BBC (I can't give you streaming stats, sorry).

   On my logging pipeline (subset of BBC logs):

   - Peak: 2.2M row/s (105GB/s)
   - Total: 20.1B rows (16.4TB), 2.7M log files
   - 0 write fails
   - 0 duplicated rows
   - Peak: 1035 Cloud Run containers @ 2x CPU each ∴ 2070 CPU

   Best bit is that we did precisely nothing, it all just worked.
