🎤 Session Details: Enabling Realtime Analytics for DynamoDB
Following OpenAI's acquisition and shutdown of Rockset, many organisations are grappling with the challenge of maintaining real-time analytics capabilities for their DynamoDB data. In this session, I'll demonstrate how to build an even better solution using ClickHouse, achieving superior performance. Drawing from real-world implementations, I'll walk you through a modern architecture that not only replaces Rockset but enhances your analytics capabilities. Join me to learn the step-by-step implementation, best practices, and see a demonstration of how you can achieve sub-second query performance while reducing costs.

🎤 Session Details: Buildkite's early adventure with ClickHouse in Test Analytics
Follow our team's recent journey adopting ClickHouse to tackle growing analytics challenges in our Test Engine platform. I'll discuss the customer and data challenges that pushed us to explore new solutions, why we chose ClickHouse, and our early experience with the ClickHouse Cloud platform. While we're still in the early stages, I'll share some practical insights from our onboarding process that could benefit teams considering similar paths.
