lol spot-on comment and stay tuned for our v2 :)

The focus of mooncake is to be a columnar storage engine, that natively integrate with pg, allowing writing from pg, replicating from pg, and reading by pg using pg_mooncake. We want people to use other engine to read from mooncake, and here they are effectively stateless engine, that's much easier to manage and avoids all data ETL problems.

Sounds good. I'm still a bit confused. But will wait for your next version. :) ETL problems still aren't avoided — replicating from Postgres sources using logical replication is still ETL. One topic we didn't chat much is, be careful about what you're signing up for with logical replication — we built an entire company just to solve the logical replication/decoding problem. ;)
