ClickHouse Cloud: the fastest, most cost-efficient way to build real-time analytics, observability, and AI-powered data applications. Fully managed, with sub-second query performance at any scale. [Start free trial](https://console.clickhouse.cloud/signUp?loc=cloud-page-hero-button) Available on all three major cloud marketplaces. > Moving to ClickHouse, we managed to get 70% cheaper costs and improved our search performance by 10x. We're doing more and storing more with less. > > — Canva > We needed something to slice and dice real-time data, like rides and driver hours across cities and regions where Lyft runs. Using ClickHouse resulted into a lot of performance benefits for us with huge cost savings for the org. > > — Lyft > We've consistently run into scaling and performance bottlenecks that limited our ability to deliver the kind of analytics features our users needed. ClickHouse gave us the breakthrough we needed to deliver the kind of features we'd been holding back. > > — GitLab > Previously, querying the last 10 minutes would take 1-2 minutes. With ClickStack, it was just a case of how fast I could blink. The performance is real. When you're digging into logs during an incident, every second matters. > > — Character.ai ClickHouse Cloud is trusted by organizations that work with data scale, including Meta, eBay, Microsoft, Spotify, Lyft, HubSpot, Instacart, Cisco, Cloudflare, IBM, GitLab, ServiceNow, Deutsche Bank, Sony, Vercel, Cursor and Anthropic. ## Performance without compromising on cost Benchmarked against Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift across 1B, 10B, and 100B rows [Learn more about the benchmark results](https://clickhouse.com/blog/cloud-data-warehouses-cost-performance-comparison?loc=cloud#interactive-benchmark-explorer) ## Lower infra costs with ClickHouse Cloud With cloud-native architecture, your infrastructure costs are lower than self-managed ClickHouse at scale. ### Architecture designed for cost efficiency Separation of storage and compute, pay-for-use pricing, and zero replica overhead mean you only pay for what you use. ### Pay-for-use compute CPU and memory scale up during load spikes and down during idle periods. No constant overprovisioning for peak traffic. ### Less replica overhead Object-backed parallel replicas in a shared-nothing architecture. Less storage duplication, less network overhead, better hardware utilization. ### Compute-compute separation Independent compute layers for read and write separation. Provision separate services for distinct workloads without interference. ### Built-in integration framework Managed, secure, and continuously updated integrations. Move data faster without the manual setup and maintenance of open source. ### Additional compute without resizing On-Demand Compute gives eligible select queries access to additional ClickHouse workers through your existing service, without resizing it or provisioning another one.

Understand how compute, storage, and coordination scale, and how the cloud platform adds orchestration, monitoring, and automation. ClickHouse Cloud removes the operational complexity of managing shards, replicas, and infrastructure. Your team focuses on queries, not clusters. ## Get started for free We'll get you started on a 30 day trial and $300 credits to spend at your own pace.

The platform handles provisioning, right-sizing, and rebalancing behind the scenes so you don't need to be a hardware expert. ### Don't manage shards and replicas No need to design, scale, or rebalance shards and replicas by hand. High availability without duplicating your data or the operational overhead. ### Upgrade without anxiety Patches and upgrades happen seamlessly behind the scenes. Stay on the latest version without outages, late-night releases, or complex runbooks. 1. Automatic scaling, zero rebalancing As data and traffic grow, open source users add nodes, reshard, rebalance, and continually monitor CPU, memory, and I/O usage. ClickHouse Cloud gives you elastic compute with autoscaling. Services scale up and down based on demand. No manual resharding, no guessing how big your next cluster should be. 2. Get high availability by default High availability on open source requires balancing replicas across AZs and careful ClickHouse Keeper configuration to support failover. ClickHouse Cloud handles this natively through multi-AZ deployments, so applications stay online during localized AZ outages. 3. Offload security and compliance Hardening an open source deployment means managing TLS, network isolation, access control, auditability, and regulatory requirements on your own stack. ClickHouse Cloud automatically masks sensitive data in logs and enforces fine-grained data masking at query time through native masking policies built into the engine, ensuring PII is protected without duplicating or transforming underlying data. 4. Simplify monitoring and troubleshooting ClickHouse Cloud ships with built-in monitoring, providing rich metrics and performance insights directly in the console so you can quickly spot and resolve issues. For teams with existing observability stacks, open endpoints such as Prometheus metrics are also available, making it easy to integrate with your current tooling. 5. Managed ingestion and integrations ClickHouse Cloud streamlines data loading with ClickPipes, a fully managed ingestion layer that makes it easy to ingest large volumes of data from a wide range of sources without operating your own infrastructure. Pipelines can be set up in just a few steps by selecting a source and format and tuning your schema, after which ClickPipes handles continuous ingestion automatically. Built for speed and scale, it ensures your ingestion pipelines can grow seamlessly with your data volumes. 6. Built-in disaster recovery With open source, backups are DIY: scripts, cron jobs, buckets, retention rules, with a constant fear that restores might not work when you need them. ClickHouse Cloud automates scheduled backups and provides guided restore workflows, making disaster recovery a built-in capability rather than a custom project. 7. Go from idea to insights in minutes Standing up a production-ready open source deployment is a journey: provision infra, configure clusters, wire monitoring, set up backups, harden security, and plan upgrades. With ClickHouse Cloud, you create a service, load data, and start querying in minutes. The same speed and flexibility of ClickHouse open source, without the operational overhead. ## ClickHouse Cloud in action Jump into a virtual tour that showcases its capabilities [Try the interactive demo](https://demos.clickhouse.com/psl/cloud-tour) ## Built-in capabilities ### Easy start All the speed and power that you expect from ClickHouse available in a cloud offering. - Start with $300 credits - No upfront sizing - Automatic replication - No manual data sharding ### Reliability Reliable by default, each service is automatically replicated across multiple availability zones. - Highly available - Seamless upgrades - Automated backups - Disaster recovery ### World class security Let our experts sweat the security, privacy, and compliance details.
