We at Metabase asked 338 teams in our community about how they build and use their data stacks, from tool choices to AI adoption, and built a community resource for data stack decisions in 2025.

Some of our findings: - Postgres wins it all: #1 transactional DB and #1 analytics storage - 50% of teams skip warehouses/lakes - Data teams stay small: most are just 1-3 people, even at big companies - AI trust is shaky: average confidence only 5.5/10

There’s much more to see. Check it out and let us know what you think.

I’m surprised that Clickhouse is not more prominent in OLAP tech. Such a versatile DB.
