Hydra – Serverless Analytics on Postgres

We’re excited to see DuckDB coming to the PostgreSQL ecosystem with pg_duckdb. DuckDB’s powerful analytical query processing capabilities nicely complement Postgres’ strengths in transactional workloads.

“Building on top of Postgres, we’ve been looking for ways to boost and scale analytical query performance. Using DuckDB execution in Postgres with pg_duckdb will be a game changer.”

“Having the same database handle both normal and analytics workloads is a game changer. No more syncing data to a separate database!”

“The pg_duckdb project is really exciting for us as a maritime data science lab. We can significantly increase the speed of our queries on our huge shipping datasets and it builds the analytics DB directly into the app database – this makes client handover simple.”

“DuckDB-Powered Postgres is exciting! We think it can have a major impact on how users store and access data. Excellent work.”

“Hydra makes exploration and analysis of large amounts of data accessible and familiar. Being built on Postgres and DuckDB, it’s standing on a proven technical foundation.”

“As the marriage of Postgres and DuckDB, pg_duckdb unlocks the ability for local-first software to analyse data quickly, in place, without sending it half way round the cloud and back.”

“pg_duckdb adds the power of the fastest growing analytical database to the fastest growing transactional one. Postgres with 100% more ducks, what’s not to like?”
