Quick question about the pony. I mean, about Cstore. What do you think is the best option for doing that nowadays? (By that I mean columnar stores that are hopefully optimized with the usual tricks like inlined compression. I know Vertica works but if are there cheaper (free?) alternatives?

Vertica is great, but expensive. I think it's free until 1 TB or something?

Postgres + cstore_fdw looks promising.

I don't know if this is the kind of thing you had in mind but you could try monetdb. I ran some tests a while ago and it performed very well.
