This 5.78 MB dataset is well-suited for single-node deployment; distributed infrastructure would introduce unnecessary operational overhead without performance gains. At 645.9 bytes per row across 8,948 rows, the dataset exhibits moderate row density with meaningful compression potential—applying standard columnar or dictionary encoding could reduce footprint by 30–50%, though gains depend on cardinality patterns in the Sales Pipeline and Accounts tables. The current scale remains comfortably below typical threshold triggers (100+ MB for single-node reconsideration); no infrastructure migration is warranted unless row count or table count grows 10–20x within the next planning cycle.
