From Neon Postgres to ClickHouse Managed Postgres
↗
Three teams describe why they migrated production Postgres from Neon to ClickHouse Managed Postgres, citing reliability, performance, and cost issues, and report improvements after the move.
For engineers running Postgres in production, this migration pattern shows that managed Postgres offerings can differ significantly in performance and cost as workloads grow. The reported improvements came from the platform change alone, without query or schema rewrites, and ClickPipes enabled cutover in hours. Teams already using ClickHouse for analytics can also eliminate network transfer fees by consolidating on one platform.
