+1 for this.

Most of the time, all that matter in terms of performance is user's tolerance. Once that is reached, operational complexity becomes a lot more important. We use raw Postgres for analytics, knowing that projects like these and cloud offerings like AlloyDB will make our lives easier (in terms of performance) as time goes.

pg_bm25 looks awesome too! Next up, take fdw to the level of Trino/Drill, and we dont need anything else other than postgres and its extensions!

This is exactly how we think over at ParadeDB, and querying data lakes is on our roadmap :)
