ChatFeatured, a Toronto startup helping brands optimize their visibility in AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, struggled with analytics performance across three managed Postgres providers. After hitting IOPS limits and slow query times on PlanetScale (2.5 minutes for a 30-day analytics query), they migrated to Postgres managed by ClickHouse. Using the ClickPipes connector, the migration took just 30 minutes. The result: the same analytics query now runs in under a second, 20x data compression on CDN logs, and a unified platform handling both OLTP and OLAP workloads without managing two separate systems.
