We at Metabase asked 338 teams in our community about how they build and use their data stacks, from tool choices to AI adoption, and built a community resource for data stack decisions in 2025.

Some of our findings: - Postgres wins it all: #1 transactional DB and #1 analytics storage - 50% of teams skip warehouses/lakes - Data teams stay small: most are just 1-3 people, even at big companies - AI trust is shaky: average confidence only 5.5/10

There’s much more to see. Check it out and let us know what you think.

I’m surprised that Clickhouse is not more prominent in OLAP tech. Such a versatile DB.
This seems like valuable data, and I don’t like complaining about UX on hn but…

I’m giving up. The tab layout and scrolling are effectively unusable on my iPhone.

if you‘re wondering where all the content is, you might have made the same mistake as me and not seen the tab bar up top!
