What is a real-time data warehouse?

Analytics push traditional data warehouses, lakes, and transactional databases to their limits – not just in terms of performance, but also with skyrocketing costs. A real-time data warehouse is purpose-built for fast, reliable, and cost-effective querying at any scale.
Evolution of data warehouses
30 years ago

Traditional on-prem data warehouse

30 years ago, on-prem data warehouses like IBM, Hadoop, Oracle, and Teradata were the only options available.
  • Data volumnes were small
  • Warehouses were operationally complex

Traditional cloud warehouse

Traditional cloud data warehouses, whose predecessors were built to manage much smaller volumes, began to strain under the increased data load.
  • Performance and concurrency limitations became limiting at scale
  • Retrofitting these for analytics or real-time workloads started to become prohibitively costly

Why use a real-time data warehouse?

Companies leverage ClickHouse Cloud as their real-time data warehouse to ensure that analytics shine at any scale.

Traditional cloud data warehouse

  • Performance
    High query latency and concurrency limitations are commonplace
  • Hardware efficiency
    Can create data bloat and inefficient usage of system resources
  • Scale
    Analytics queries scale inadequately as data volumes increase
  • Complexity
    Can lead to growing operational complexity
  • Cost
    Costly for many workloads

  • Cost
    Maximizes cost-effectiveness

Impact of the real-time data warehouse

With Snowflake, we were using the standard plan, small compute, which cost nearly six times more than ClickHouse Cloud. We got several seconds query time and no materialized views.

With ClickHouse Cloud's production instance, we are getting sub-second query time along with materialized views. The decision to switch was a no-brainer for us.

We were on Redshift for about a year and a half, but found the operational overhead and performance wasn't getting it done. Moving over to ClickHouse we were basically able to cut that (Redshift) bill in half. That 30 second query now takes under a second, and every page loads just faster.

It [BigQuery] discourages data usage. Instead of encouraging analysts to query the database in any and all ways they can imagine you’ll end up worrying about needing to limit them and come up with processes for controlling the volume of data being used. We simply don’t want the hassle of trying to figure out in advance of how many BQ slots to purchase - what a headache!
