Means you can use existing Postgres clients and queries. Automatic vectorization for aggregate queries. Can copy tables between row and columnar. Built-in cron-like scheduler for regular tasks e.g. analytics queries. Open source. Great, original website theme. ### Tradeoffs Some Postgres features are not yet implemented e.g. upsert on conflict and foreign keys.
