## What the models said for it

- "Data Warehouse | PostgreSQL (self-hosted or Supabase) ... Free, battle-tested, excellent SQL support" (Grok 4.20, Warehouse & ETL)
- "Tools like PostgreSQL, Apache Cassandra, or MongoDB Atlas (with proper configuration) often offer more control and transparency." (MiniMax M2.5, DMP)
- "If you already use Postgres (Supabase), you can use that for free, but BigQuery is generally preferred" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Warehouse & ETL)
- "Budget-Conscious | Postgres (Supabase) + dbt | Grouparoo or Airbyte" (Mistral Small, Warehouse & ETL)

## And against it

- "Avoid building one from scratch (e.g., self-hosted Postgres) for marketing" (Grok 4.20, Warehouse & ETL)
- "Postgres can work for very small setups but doesn't scale well." (Grok 4.20, Warehouse & ETL)
