You don't need subqueries. The WHEN statement can help you in this case (a
bit tedious to write but fast to run):
WITH q AS (select date_part('hour', ts) AS hr, ts::date AS mydate FROM
your_table_or_query)
SELECT hr,
sum(CASE WHEN mydate = '2020-04-01'::date THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
sum(CASE WHEN mydate = '2020-04-02'::date THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
...
FROM q ORDER BY hr;
Hope it helps
