What Can You Build?

ClickHouse handles every analytical workload — from millisecond dashboards to petabyte-scale AI pipelines.

Real-Time Analytics

Build user-facing dashboards and APIs with sub-second query response on billions of rows. Power customer-facing apps that respond in milliseconds, not minutes.

Data Warehousing

Cost-effective storage and analysis of all business data at scale. Integrate with Iceberg, Parquet, Delta Lake and any BI tool — Tableau, Power BI, Metabase.

Observability

Unify logs, metrics, and traces in a single SQL-queryable store. ClickStack (OpenTelemetry + ClickHouse + HyperDX) eliminates fragmented tooling at 42× lower cost than Datadog.

AI / ML & Agentic AI

Use ClickHouse as a feature store, vector store, and LLM observability platform. Powers Anthropic's Claude development — sub-second queries at petabyte scale.

Why Teams Replace Snowflake, BigQuery & Redshift

Traditional cloud data warehouses were built for batch analytics. They charge per query, cap concurrency, and become cost-prohibitive at real-time scale. ClickHouse was built from the ground up for high-concurrency, low-latency, high-volume workloads.

  • Open source, no vendor lock-in. Proprietary query engines and storage formats are a thing of the past.
  • Cost included in compute. No per-query charges — unlike BigQuery's slot model.
  • Sub-second queries by default. What takes 30 seconds in Redshift takes under 1 second in ClickHouse.
  • 1,000 concurrent queries per node. Scale to thousands of users without degradation.
