Udacity-Data-Engineering-Projects VS hydra

You can start with googling data engineering learning path to get a sense of what you need to know. If you are looking for simple projects to start with then you can look at this as well (https://github.com/san089/Udacity-Data-Engineering-Projects).

For practice, Data Modeling with Postgres and Udacity Data Engineering Projects as examples, and Data Engineering Project for Beginners - Batch edition for a guided tutorial.

Don't feel bad, lots of people get bitten by not reading all the way down to the bottom of their readme: https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra/blob/v1.1.2/README.md... While Hydra may very well license their own code Apache 2, they ship the AGPLv3 columnar which to my very best IANAL understanding taints the whole stack and AGPLv3's everything all the way through https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra/blob/v1.1.2/columnar/...

Columnar store PostgreSQL extension exists, here are two but I think I’m missing at least another one:

https://github.com/citusdata/cstore_fdw

https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra

You can also connect other stores using the foreign data wrappers, like parquet files stored on an object store, duckdb, clickhouse… though the joins aren’t optimised as PostgreSQL would do full scan on the external table when joining.

some previous discussions:

and a relevant observation is that there are actually multiple license files in the repo so the consumer should read their explicit licensing section of the readme <https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra#license> since the GitHub sidebar is misleading

Hydra DB Link to Github -> Worked well for aggregated query usecases but not for queries that build reports. Also, data insertion and updation is abyssmal on columnar dbs.

There's a lot of experience about db operation and how to approach MVCC encoded in PostgreSQL that shouldn't be underestimated.

And just like last time, watch out for the misleading GitHub license detector because it's not entirely Apache as the GitHub summary claims but rather *some* is Apache and buried in the interior is some AGPL stuff: https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra#license
