Michael ChristofidesHostLet's pause a little bit because I think what's interesting here is that we have a couple of Postgres companies acquired last year by analytical database companies, right? Snowflake and Databricks.
Great, interesting combination of two very open source projects originally.
So I guess this is where you manage to be with your plumbing business, right? With PeerDB.
This is where we're all in, but you literally called it PureDB because it's about pipes and so on.
So this is a great combination of two, I think, great open source projects.
And then I want to understand the idea that ClickHouse needs their own Postgres better, because originally I know Milovidov chose MySQL protocol originally.
Somehow, ClickHouse was a good fit for those who use Postgres, but it was not completely relative to Postgres.

So the reason why we started Manage Postgres within ClickHouse is, if you look at it, right, currently there are tens of thousands of companies who use Postgres and ClickHouse together.

Postgres powers transactions, ClickHouse powers analytics, and Basically, they are using the right tool for the right job.
