An intro to ClickHouse for Postgres Developers
Mark Needham
This video introduces ClickHouse for Postgres developers and compares key differences between these powerful database systems. Learn how these technologies complement each other through their contrasting strengths—Postgres excels at transactional workloads with row-based storage, while ClickHouse specializes in analytical workloads with column-based storage. Discover the fundamental differences in:
- Data storage and access patterns
- Update/delete operations
- Indexing and primary keys
- Table configuration and engines
The video also demonstrates how to sync data between Postgres and ClickHouse using Change Data Capture (CDC), showing practical examples of how transactions in Postgres can be efficiently transferred to ClickHouse for analytics.
