In today’s data-driven world, startups face the unique challenge of managing and analyzing massive volumes of data while maintaining agility and cost-efficiency. Enter ClickHouse, the lightning-fast, open-source columnar database management system renowned for its performance and scalability. To empower startups further, ClickHouse is thrilled to announce a promotion for AWS Activate members. This offer promises to provide startups with the tools they need to turn their data into actionable insights.
At ClickHouse we understand the journey a startup is going through. Building a company, the product, a pricing model, the product market fit and securing those first customers. We started that journey in 2021.
We set a 1-year deadline to develop ClickHouse Cloud. “It was clear that our first place to go was AWS in terms of where we would host our offering,” says Tanya Bragin, Vice President of Product at ClickHouse. “We didn’t want to build anything from scratch. We had to use off-the-shelf services from AWS to accomplish our goal within 1 year.”
Fueling startup growth
AWS Activate is a program designed to help startups get started on AWS, offering a variety of resources such as credits, training, and support. In joining forces with Activate, startups can now use ClickHouse Cloud for their Real-Time Data Analytics needs.
“Reducing complexity is key at the early stages of any startup” says Alexey Milovidov Co-Fouder and CTO at ClickHouse, “With ClickHouse Cloud, startups have a high performance, scalable, and cost-efficient real-time data warehouse to power their product, similar to how the off-the-shelf AWS services allowed ClickHouse to launch the SaaS service in record time.”
