ClickHouse is a fast, open-source column-oriented database management system that allows for the generation of analytical data reports in real-time. What does that mean in practice? It means that ClickHouse can do some pretty amazing things, and it does them fast.
FOR EXAMPLE:
DATA ANALYSIS:
ClickHouse is great for a wide variety of data analysis - like inventory management, traffic analysis, or marketing. In fact, it can be used in any domain where you need to crunch lots of numbers, fast.
SCALABILITY:
ClickHouse can scale up significantly – it has been used in production to handle more than a billion rows per second. Despite how scalable it is, though, the learning curve isn’t super high; most SQL users find it pretty approachable.
INTEGRATION:
ClickHouse works in conjunction with a lot of other software to help you crunch those numbers. Although it’s often used for OLAP, it integrates well with many data visualization and BI solutions for slicing and dicing those numbers.
Superset, Looker, Metabase, QuestDB, and more…
