PostHog is moving its data warehouse off DuckDB
Original: Moving our warehouse off DuckDB
PostHog engineers have published a write-up explaining why the company is moving its data warehouse away from DuckDB. The post details their experience running the analytics database at scale and the trade-offs that pushed them to look for an alternative. The piece has drawn significant attention among developers, many of whom use DuckDB in their own data stacks and are debating its limits for production warehouse workloads.
Why now: DuckDB is widely adopted by developers, so a detailed account of abandoning it for a production warehouse sparks debate about its scalability limits.
