Introducing WalShadow: sub-second Postgres replication to ClickHouse from physical WAL. No logical replication. WalShadow decodes the same physical WAL stream Postgres replicas use and writes ClickHouse-native blocks directly into ClickHouse. In our benchmarks: ~200 ms commit-to-visible latency and 289K rows/sec sustained, keeping pace with the source Postgres.
