🎤 Adam Malone, Head of Customer Engineering @ Hasura
Talk: Building Hasura's Observability Infrastructure with ClickHouse and GraphQL
Summary: As part of the continual evolution of Hasura, the latest version of our cloud platform uses Clickhouse Cloud to store metrics and traces for customer requests. This means that every time a request traverses Hasura Cloud, we break it down into component parts following the open telemetry standard and store those for simple querying on the observability dashboard.
What started out as a proof of concept in Clickhouse Cloud not only became part of the overall platform, but we purpose built a Hasura <> Clickhouse connector so all of our customers could take advantage of instant REST and GraphQL endpoints to query tables and views within Clickhouse
The end result is a lightning fast analytical database and an instant API for mapping and data retrieval
Speaker Bio: Adam leads customer engineering for Hasura in Asia Pacific, in a role that sees him working alongside architects and developers throughout the region as they evaluate and design Hasura within their technical ecosystem
