In this podcast interview, Sai, the CEO and co-founder of PeerDB, discusses his background and motivations for creating the company. He noticed that customers using existing ETL tools for data movement with Postgres often faced issues and ended up building in-house solutions. This inspired him to start PeerDB, a data movement tool optimized for Postgres. The initial use case for PeerDB is real-time streaming of data from Postgres to data warehouses, queues, and storage engines.
Sai explains the benefits of this feature, including minimal lag and the ability to easily stream data across different namespaces, topics, and subscriptions. They explore the differences between real-time CDC replication and streaming query replication features in PeerDB.
