Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
We disabled parallelism in the blog post for demonstration purposes. The 300x slower refers to the clickbench numbers[0] where parallelism is enabled

Show HN: ClickBench Playground – a playground for 110 database systems
Incredible! This is amazing!
README says it downloads onto a host the dataset, (builds if needed then) runs a snapshotted firecracker microvms that exposes a small /query endpoint. A monitor records and posts results.

Was a little hard to find in the changelog myself (unaided) since there has been such a massive flood of results getting added! Salute to that!! Epic work.

Best Amazon Redshift alternatives (2026) for real-time analytics: cost, tuning, and latency
Vendor benchmarks can provide a useful starting point, but they rarely reproduce your query mix, ingestion pattern, concurrency, or data distribution. ClickBench provides reproducible analytical-query comparisons across engines, while TPC-DS-style tests exercise a broader warehouse query shape. Neither one replaces a workload-specific concurrency test.

Lies, Damn Lies and Database Benchmarks
The dataset they use is <14GB of parquet [1] so the "cold start" seems to be intended to also measure having a dataset that doesn't fit in memory in a way.
I don't think this is an oversight but it is just what they found to be feasible. This is explicitly written in [1]. Also the guy who setup this benchmark is very serious about benchmarking under difficult conditions [2]
My personal opinion is that you need a massive amount of data and massive number of different variables to test for separately. For example you might want to monitor how many cache misses/hits there were, p99 latency etc. And you want to do it under full load, expected load etc. And you want to compare the different versions of the same database because comparing different databases makes things combinatorially more difficult, unless you have a real production use case that you are optimizing for ofc.
The swisstable talk on cppcon is a good example of a useful benchmark and optimization that shows how difficult it is to really asses performance effects of even "small" changes. [3]

What is the best real-time analytics database in 2026? An engineering buyer's guide
When evaluating these engines, it is a mistake to be overly reliant on vendor benchmarks, which are often closed and lack methodology. Instead, prioritize benchmarks that are open-source, reproducible, and industry-recognized. Open suites like ClickBench (maintained by ClickHouse and independently reproducible) and TPC-H provide verifiable data points for comparing sub-second latency and hardware efficiency across engines.
