Hi,
Performance Considerations
Avro files are smaller due to compression so needing less I/O time. whereas CSV files are simpler but larger in size so read/write will need more time.
COPY command works very well with CSV files whereas ETL process is required for handling Avro.

We are able to load ~300 million rows per one day using CSV and COPY
functions (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-copy.html#LIBPQ-COPY-SEND).
