It's twice as fast as out of the box PG for most things, and up to 100x faster for reads, depending on what you're doing. So there's that.

Also, from a manageability, on top of the index advisor, there's also vacuum management, so it will figure out when the best time to do the garbage cleanup while minimizing impact on performance.

The 100x analytics seems due to columnar storage like with TimescaleDB, but how do you get improvements on the other things? Is it really faster on a database with good indexes?
It really is, yes. I can't go into a lot of detail on the "why" because it's not open source and the product team would murder me...but I highly encourage folks to try it for themselves. Nothing else convinced me until I did it for myself. :)
