Introducing WalShadow: Sub-second Postgres replication to ClickHouse from physical WAL

ClickHouse releases WalShadow, an open-source engine replicating Postgres data via physical WAL rather than logical slots. Benchmarks show 200 ms latency and 289K rows per second throughput. The tool handles schema evolution and initial loads, reducing source database overhead while enabling near-real-time analytics.
