One of the devs working on Logfire here. Part of it was the level of support. Like Samuel said the ClickHouse folks were not receptive to bug reports. The Timescale team is leagues ahead in that sense, they’re super responsive and helpful. Ultimately one of the reasons for choosing DataFusion was that it’s much more approachable of a project and indeed we’ve already gotten tremendous bidirectional benefit: the DataFusion team has helped us figure out some complex bits and we’ve done significant upstream contributions. By the way, DataFusion is now the fastest single node query engine on ClickBench: https://datafusion.apache.org/blog/2024/11/18/datafusion-fas...

Another reason we use DataFusion is multi-tenancy: we found it was hard to use RLS and such to implement multi-tenancy. We’ve had much better luck with the extensibility of DataFusion.
