Hydra Columnar is a Postgres extension providing column-oriented table storage via the table access method API, enabling fast analytical queries on Postgres. It ships as a drop-in replacement for the standard Postgres Docker image.

Use cases

  • run analytical queries on postgres with columnar storage
  • speed up aggregate queries like count sum avg on large tables
  • build a data warehouse on postgresql
  • store clickstream and web analytics events in postgres
  • query machine-generated logs and structured event data efficiently

When to choose

  • you want OLAP-style analytical workloads without leaving Postgres
  • your workload is read-heavy with aggregates, filters, and bulk inserts
  • you want a drop-in Postgres-compatible columnar option

When to avoid

  • you need frequent large updates or many small transactions
  • you rely on logical replication
  • you depend on index types beyond btree and hash
