Today we're welcoming Joe, the co-creator of Hydra, to the Supabase team. He is joining us to build Supabase Warehouse: an open data warehouse architecture for developers.
Hydra co-developed pg_duckdb, a popular open source (MIT-licensed) extension that accelerates analytics queries on Postgres by over 600x.
Analytics on Postgres#
Joe's work on Hydra pioneered the modern lakebase architecture before most even considered it possible.
Last year, Supabase started looking at warehousing, announcing Analytics Buckets to store data in Iceberg format in S3. This year, Hydra and pg_duckdb will make it easier than ever to get fast analytics on large data volumes in Postgres.
