10-100x in cost savings depending on alternatives considered

Best-in-class ingestion rates for the most demanding workloads

Up to 30x compression ratios for the most efficient storage usage

ClickHouse helps us efficiently and reliably analyze logs across trillions of Internet requests to identify malicious traffic and provide customers with rich analytics.

Now, our customers can search through months of browser and server-side log data in under a second thanks to the tech behind ClickHouse.

At Sony Entertainment Television, we ingest tens of millions of CDN records into ClickHouse Cloud and run millions of queries against them daily. This allows our operations team to monitor the delivery of our content in real-time, and analyze/investigate potential issues the moment they arise. ClickHouse Cloud has helped us to optimize costs and ensure the high availability and resilience of our services.

Trusted by developers that work with data at scale

ClickHouse for Observability

When it comes to SQL-based observability, ClickHouse shines in its ability to perform a huge range of analytical functions over massive volumes of data - leveraging features like high compression rates to ensure robust performance at scale.

Ingest data seamlessly

ClickHouse is designed to handle huge volumes of continuous streams of ingest data, supporting ingestion rates of gigabytes per second. Seamlessly connect your external data sources to ClickHouse Cloud with ClickPipes.

Leverage resources efficiency

ClickHouse is purpose-built to deliver the most efficient utilization of resources, which results in significant cost savings. Unlike other JVM-based solutions, ClickHouse can exploit the full resources of a machine and scale both horizontally and vertically to systems with hundreds of cores and petabytes of storage.

Manage data flexibly

ClickHouse’s column-oriented design delivers best-in-class compression ratios, reducing storage burden and further accelerating query performance. Flexible storage policies and MergeTree table engines allow data to reside on local disks for defined periods before migrating to object storage, creating “hot” and “cold” tiers to balance query performance and storage efficiency.

Unlock your real-time analytics

ClickHouse is designed from the ground up to power the most intensive real-time workloads. Combine our extensive suite of aggregation and analytical functions with optimizations to further accelerate queries and ensure blazingly-fast data analysis for critical workloads.
