From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
> Five months ago, we rebuilt our warehouse [1] on DuckDB instead of ClickHouse. Why did they write this post if they had not even allowed things to settle. It sounds like someone wanted to claim victory (and promo?) https://posthog.com/blog/why-we-rebuilt-our-data-warehouse
Am I missing something here, or is the only technical detail in the post "a trillion rows is a lot of data, maybe trying trinio will work this time"? It feels like a lot of churn and not a lot of measurements or engineering.
Haven't seen Posthog's website in a while. Man, it's hideous.
