⚡️ 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.

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.
