OLAP and OLTP lines are blurring

OLAP and OLTP lines are blurring

Short summary

Traditional OLAP and OLTP workloads on the same database create resource contention that can crash production systems. Extensions like pg_lake decouple analytics to cloud data lakes using Apache Iceberg and isolated DuckDB execution. This pattern enables concurrent intensive queries without starving transactional workloads.

  • •OLAP/OLTP co-location creates resource contention that risks production crashes
  • •pg_lake + Apache Iceberg + DuckDB decouple analytics to cloud storage with isolated execution
  • •Enables concurrent intensive queries without starving transactional connections
