Migrating bajillions of database records at Stripe
What database are they using?  Their description reads like they used some NoSQL database, and then they needed to do an ALTER TABLE.<p>Also, how many merchants can they have?  I have a database of all US businesses on a desktop machine and a server.  It's a few gigabytes.  There are about 20 million business entities in the US, and some of them may not be Stripe customers.
