> Recently, the most interesting rift in the Postgres vs OLAP space is [Hydra](https://www.hydra.so), an open-source, column-oriented distribution of Postgres that was very recently launched (after our migration to ClickHouse). Had Hydra been available during our decision-making time period, we might’ve made a different choice.
There will likely be a good OLAP solution (possibly implemented as an extension) in Postgres in the next year or so. Many companies are working on it (Hydra, Parade[0], etc.)
the only additional requirement that the AGPL introduces is that if you modify the AGPL software, you have to provide people who can access it over the network the code.
If you just use a pre-built package, the AGPL has the exact same requirements as the GPL.
