The homepage of this website does a bad job of explaining wtf Hydra actually does. Is it a database? Some type of serverless architecture? Ok analytics, but analytics about what, postgrs performance? Does 'analytics' mean that its for OLAP queries?
[Joe Hydra cofounder]. Hydra is a fast analytics db on Postgres. It's a database with both a row and columnstore. Analytics can mean reporting, metrics, customer-facing dashboards. Sounds like we should spend some time making analytics templates.
I've run through the docs and it's really unclear how the compute model works. "Serverless" is nice, but how exactly is that managed?
