Cheap, Fast, Scalable: Introducing Analytics with Open Source ClickHouse®
Real-time analytic databases are indispensable tools for quick insights on large datasets, and ClickHouse currently leads the pack in speed and usage. This talk shows the major features that make ClickHouse popular for real-time analytics and provides a jumping off point to build your own apps. We’ll explain internals of ClickHouse and provide explicit guidance on when to reach for it. (And when not to.;) We will also demo new work from Altinity that adds separable compute and storage using shared Apache Iceberg tables. We’ll include thoughts on design patterns for using PostgreSQL and ClickHouse productively together.
We are so excited to host Robert and have him introduce another open source database Clickhouse. Robert has been working on databases since 1982, from pre-relational systems through modern analytic DBMS, with a focus on distributed systems and transaction processing He has worked principally with open source databases since 2006 and Kubernetes since 2018. His day job is running Altinity, a ClickHouse vendor.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
