Overview
ClickHouse is the company behind the open source column-oriented database of the same name, which was originally built inside Yandex for web analytics and released publicly in 2016 before the company was incorporated in 2021. The database is designed for analytical queries over very large tables, using columnar storage, vectorised execution and aggressive compression to answer aggregations across billions of rows in under a second, which has made it a common choice for observability, product analytics and real-time reporting. The company sells a managed cloud service on top of the open source project and operates as a remote-first organisation.
