Congrats! I’m curious where PeerDB positions itself relative to ReplicaDB? Also wrt sources, I’m curious whether CSV will ever be on the roadmap? Although it’s antiquated it’s ubiquitous, so I was surprised it’s not supported with launch. That said, I’ve encountered ridiculous challenges with data movement from CSV to Postgres and I’m curious if that alone was the blocker?

Thank you. Our goal is to focus on postgres and provide a fast (by native optimizations, see above post for a few examples), simple and a feature-rich data-movement experience in/out of Postgres. So adding more connectors based on customer feedback will be a part of this journey!

In regards to CSV as a connector, postgres’s COPY command should do it right? Am I missing something? Is it CSV files in cold storage (like s3 etc)? OR periodic streaming of CSV files into Postgres?

That’s right! If it’s easy then it should be easy for your team to add —- but if it’s not easy then it’d be even more useful for your team to add! Win win

You bring up a great point. Periodically streaming CSV files to Postgres from storage through a single SQL command (CREATE MIRROR) is indeed very helpful for customers. We will add this to our product prioritization. With the infra we have, this shouldn't be too hard to support!
