Excited about the work here. However, my 2 cents - for this to become a reality (serious production use at scale), I don’t think it’s just based on the choice of the analytical engine (here, DuckDB), but rather on how well the Postgres extension is built. The Postgres extension framework is complex, still maturing, and doesn’t offer full flexibility to implement features. We saw this closely at Citus. It was a deterrent to competing with native analytical databases like ClickHouse and Snowflake. A bunch of customers, including CloudFlare and Heap, switched from Citus to ClickHouse and SingleStore, respectively. This was one of the inspirations to start PeerDB , to make it magical for customers to move data from Postgres to native and purpose-built analytical databases like ClickHouse.
Being a Postgres fan, Good luck and best wishes with the effort here!
