I'm using Postgres as my base business database, and thinking now about linking it to either DuckDb/DuckLake or Clickhouse...
what would you recommend and why?
I understand part of the interest of pg_clickhouse is to be able to use "pre-existing Postgres queries" on an analytical database without having to change anything, so if I am building my database now and have no legacy, would pg_clickhouse make sense, or should I do analytics differently?
Also, would you have some kind of tutorial / sample setup of a typical business application in Postgres and kind of replication in clickhouse to make analytics queries? so I can see how Clickhouse would be typically used?
