Moving a Billion Postgres Rows on a $100 Budget
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.

Anything can be a message queue if you use it wrongly enough
I'm definitely not from Citus data -- just a pg zealot fighting the culture war.
If you want to reach people who can actually help, you probably want to check this link:

Pg_squeeze: An extension to fix table bloat
That appears to be the case:

>Important notice: Columnar storage is now part of Citus

Ingesting an S3 file into an RDS PostgreSQL table
either we go for RDS, but we stick to the AWS handpicked extensions (exit timescale, citus or their columnar storage, ... ),

Postgres and Parquet in the Data Lke
Re: performance overhead, with FDWs we have to re-munge the data into PostgreSQL's internal row-oriented TupleSlot format again. Postgres also doesn't run aggregations that can take advantage of the columnar format (e.g. CPU vectorization). Citus had some experimental code to get that working [2], but that was before FDWs supported aggregation pushdown. Nowadays it might be possible to basically have an FDW that hooks into the GROUP BY execution and runs a faster version of the aggregation that's optimized for columnar storage. We have a blog post series [3] about how we added agg pushdown support to Multicorn -- similar idea.
There's also DuckDB which obliterates both of these options when it comes to performance. In my (again limited, not very scientific) benchmarking of on a customer's 3M row table [4] (278MB in cstore_fdw, 140MB in Parquet), I see a 10-20x (1/2s -> 0.1/0.2s) speedup on some basic aggregation queries when querying a Parquet file with DuckDB as opposed to using cstore_fdw/parquet_fdw.
I think the dream is being able to use DuckDB from within a FDW as an OLAP query engine for PostgreSQL. duckdb_fdw [5] exists, but it basically took sqlite_fdw and connected it to DuckDB's SQLite interface, which means that a lot of operations get lost in translation and aren't pushed down to DuckDB, so it's not much better than plain parquet_fdw.
This comment is already getting too long, but FDWs can indeed participate in partitions! There's this blog post that I keep meaning to implement where the setup is, a "coordinator" PG instance has a partitioned table, where each partition is a postgres_fdw foreign table that proxies to a "data" PG instance. The "coordinator" node doesn't store any data and only gathers execution results from the "data" nodes. In the article, the "data" nodes store plain old PG tables, but I don't think there's anything preventing them from being parquet_fdw/cstore_fdw tables instead.

MySQL table data to direct parquet output
Although, I found a GitHub page (odbc2parquet) which can export the table (also a query output) to parquet.

Thoughts on Using Airbyte to read/write to S3?
I tried writing parquet to s3 with Airbyte a few months ago and gave up. It was extremely slow for small tables and would not work at all for larger tables. I wound up using this https://github.com/pacman82/odbc2parquet + aws cli

Extract data from ERP systems to Snowflake - Which tools (besides Airbyte)?
Yes, I have been tinkering around with odbc2parquet (https://github.com/pacman82/odbc2parquet) and storing it in a variant column. For the dependency/workflow management maybe prefect
