Hydra

⚡️ Introducing Hydra Serverless Analytics ⚡️ - Blazing fast vectorized execution - Compute Autoscale - Independent Compute Tenancy - Enabled on Postgres in seconds

i've been waiting a while to announce this one: @JoeSciarrino is joining Supabase He previous co-founded Hydra and helped to develop pg_duckdb, which is powered by DuckDB Joe will oversee our Open Warehouse Architecture initiative and help push our Postgres + Analytics roadmap forward. All of the Hydra code will stay open source. We'll take over maintenance of pg_duckdb and work in the open as we develop the Open Warehouse Architecture and the broader Postgres + Analytics vision.

@branmcconnell @rauchg @neondatabase @databricks @v0 Check out our serverless analytics on Postgres!

@rauchg @neondatabase @databricks @v0 Awesome post summarizing the state of postgres right now. I hadn’t heard of some of those new players yet.

Congrats to the @neondatabase team on their acquisition by @databricks. It’s clear that serverless and open source data was not just what developers wanted, but also the ideal foundation for coding agents to build on. Agents like @v0 favor infrastructure that’s well represented in the training (Postgres: check). Not re-inventing the wheel and bringing new query languages to market was rewarded. On the other hand, agents and modern dev platforms like @vercel need agility. Databases need to be created instantly when you prompt or create from a template. During the vibe coding or preview process, the database is needed, but then not accessed for a while. At rest, a Neon database is inexpensive S3 objects. Modernizing the storage layer, while retaining the “frontend” APIs that agents and devs are familiar with is a winning combination. It’s great to see new players in the Postgres space like thenile.dev, xata.io, hydra.so innovating in the storage infrastructure as well. @Supabase recently announced the acquisition of orioledb.com to pursue decoupled storage and compute, while @Prisma is bringing a Unikernel-based approach for instant db boots with prisma.io/postgres. It’s clear now that Postgres has become the Linux of the database world, and the de-facto choice of developers, enterprises, and importantly, agents.

youtu.be/M4glLwqDEBw Excellent video tutorial by @ByteGradCom on the ultimate next.js dahboard for web analytics. Wesley uses serverless analytics with Hydra, @prisma, @shadcn, with server-side events (SSE).

Step 4: Restart Postgres and > create extension pg_duckdb ✅Done ✅ Next, to use serverless analytics on Postgres check out the QuickStart at docs.hydra.so/intro/quicksta…

Step 3: Add configuration for Hydra to your Postgres config file at: /etc/postgresql/{version}/main/postgresql.conf In settings add: shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_duckdb' duckdb.hydra_token = 'paste token from start.hydra.so/get-started' Grab an access token for free from the URL above and paste it in

Last up: ClickHouse 2 Entries - Hydra is 28% faster than ClickHouse c6a.4XL and 75% slower than ClickHouse c6a.metal. Interestingly, Hydra is 22% faster than c6a.metal on cold run. hot run: tinyurl.com/chhydrahot cold run: tinyurl.com/chhydracold Good show! Hydra officially turns Postgres into a true analytics DB. btw how's ClickHouse at OLTP?🤝

Next up: Snowflake 8 Entries (XS -> 128x4XL) Hydra is 7X faster than Snowflake at best, 62% faster at worst case. tinyurl.com/snowhydra Raise your hand if you've ever been victimized by a monthly Snowflake bill 🙋. "Just ...use... Postgres"

Everyone's favorite ... dramatic topic. 👀Looks like Postgres has its new analytics champion.🔥🔥 flame thread tinyurl.com/benchHydra
