ClickHouse Cloud on GCP Available in Public Beta

ClickHouse Cloud is now available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in public Beta. #

ClickHouse Cloud was launched on December 6, 2022, enabling ClickHouse users to build real-time applications without the devops overhead of a self-managed installation.

TL;DR - Get started now by launching a GCP service in minutes.

One of the key benefits of ClickHouse Cloud is the simplicity of getting started. With just a few clicks, you can set up a service, and autoscale automatically based on your workload's needs, so you never have to overprovision or pay for unused capacity. We have already seen a number of ClickHouse users using ClickHouse as a ‘speed layer’ atop BigQuery. This announcement allows these users to keep their data resident in a single cloud provider.

Depending on your needs, you can select from two different options: #

• Development: Best suited for small workloads
  • Storage: Up to 1 TB
  • Memory: 16 GiB
• Production: Designed for production environments and workloads that need additional storage and memory
  • Storage: Unlimited
  • Memory: 24 GiB+ total memory

Feature Highlights #

ClickHouse Cloud on GCP offers the following features:

• Google Cloud Storage integration: Out-of-the-box integration to move from cloud storage to ClickHouse Cloud. And several other integrations for you to build end-to-end solutions, see more information here.
• End-to-end encryption: At ClickHouse, security is a top priority, and the service offers encryption on the wire with TLS and data-at-rest encryption with Google Cloud Storage encryption.
• Endpoint security: The IP Access List feature offers the ability to secure endpoints so only select IPs can access data.
• Built in SQL Console for data exploration and visualization:
  • Seamlessly and securely connect to your database
  • Explore and query your data instantly
  • Build rich visualizations from your query results in 2-3 clicks
  • Collaborate with your team using shared queries

It takes just a few minutes to set up your new service in GCP and get going. See the steps below:
