"Druid has already been deployed in similar environments with over 100B events/day, so we were confident it could work, but after testing on sampled data we couldn't justify the hardware costs of hundreds of nodes...

ClickHouse has a much simpler system design - all the nodes in a cluster have equal functionality and use only ZooKeeper for coordination. We built a small cluster of several nodes to start kicking the tires, and found the performance to be quite impressive."

"We've run OLAP on Druid for years, but as our platform has scaled and as traffic has increased on OLAP, we sought new solutions to reduce the cost of maintaining Druid and occasional availability challenges.

We explored ClickHouse late last year and, based on documentation and extensive benchmarking tests, it seemed to fit our events use-case well and yielded impressive numbers... We also did a cost comparison of infrastructure footprint and storage, which showed that we could cut back on our existing infrastructure used for Druid by over 90 percent."
