So once you make it as an extension, any chance to mix PipelineDB with Citus in one cluster?

My hunch says that it's possible as far as there is some additional computation done with the future aggregate query on the coordinator in Citus.

PPDB looks interesting, but we also need to keep the underlying raw data and multiple clusters require more complex pipeline.

We haven't looked too far into integrations with any existing systems at this point, but if there was significant user demand for it on both ends we'd definitely be open to it.

One thing I will mention here is that we do have plans to add support for persistent streams [0] after version 1.0.0 is released. We've learned a lot over the years about how our users/customers interact with streams in production and persistent streams will be built atop that foundation of understanding.

Please feel free to comment on that issue with your use case, requirements, etc. and we'll see what we can do!

Persistent streams are interesting, but we spent years refining our ETL and building it around Citus, that it would be very complicated to separate those two. I will wait for the extension and do some testing.
