Why ClickHouse and ClickHouse Cloud?

Most databases cannot scale to serve real time analytics and customer facing workloads over large volumes of fresh data. ClickHouse is uniquely differentiated in its ability to do this at a cost effective price point.

The Highest Performing Data Warehouse

ClickHouse utilises vectorised query execution and advanced compression to achieve query speeds 100-1000x faster than traditional relational databases, whilst its architecture allows it to scale linearly to petabytes of data.

Power Real Time User Experiences

Designed for high concurrency, ClickHouse serves as the backend for user-facing analytics. It ingests millions of events per second while simultaneously serving thousands of concurrent analytical queries with sub-second latency.

Significantly Lower TCO

Through superior data compression and efficient resource utilisation, ClickHouse drastically reduces infrastructure costs compared to Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift. Run on commodity hardware or with an attractive consumption based cost model.

Cloud Native & Serverless

ClickHouse Cloud decouples storage and compute allowing independent scaling. Integration with S3 object storage provides virtually infinite retention at low cost, while the compute layer scales up and down based on query load.

Additional Benefits

SQL Native

Full SQL support with extensions for time-series and analytics. No need to learn a new query language.

Real-Time Ingestion

Stream millions of events per second with immediate query availability. Perfect for real-time dashboards.

Enterprise Security

Role-based access control, encryption at rest and in transit, and SOC 2 compliance with ClickHouse Cloud.

Global Community

Active open-source community with thousands of contributors and companies running ClickHouse in production.

Compression

Industry-leading compression ratios reduce storage costs by 10-40x compared to raw data formats.

Materialized Views

Pre-aggregate data on ingestion for lightning-fast queries on complex analytics patterns.
