ClickHouse Events in Austin and San Francisco

 

June 10, 2019

The last two weeks have been a busy time for ClickHouse-related events. Altinity as well as the Yandex teams have been doing a world tour that included events in the US as well as Asia. Besides the opportunity to meet people there were a lot of great presentations on ClickHouse itself.

Percona Live 2019 — May 28-30

The annual Percona Live 2019 conference took place in Austin this year. Altinity had a booth and did an intro presentation on loading your first billion rows, something that everyone does once. Here is a full list of the talks with links where available. Let us know if we missed anything.

• Opensource Column Store Databases: MariaDB ColumnStore vs. ClickHouse — Alex Rubin (VirtualHealth)
• Low Cost Transactional and Analytics with MySQL and ClickHouse: Have Your Cake and Eat It Too! — Jervin Real (Percona)
• Beyond Relational Databases: MongoDB, Redis, and ClickHouse — Marcos Albe (Percona)
• Clickhouse Features to Blow your Mind — Alexey Milovidov (Yandex)
• ClickHouse Data Warehouse 101: The First Billion Rows — Alex Zaitsev & Robert Hodges (Altinity)

We had lots of ClickHouse fans around the Altinity booth for two days. There were many conversations about ClickHouse features and applications. One of the most interesting conversations was how to use ClickHouse as an accelerator for analytics on MySQL data. We will likely have more to say about this topic in a later blog article.

SF ClickHouse Meetup — June 4

The June 4 ClickHouse Meetup was held at CloudFlare offices in San Francisco. There were about 35 participants including a bunch of heavy ClickHouse users. Following announcements and a lightning talk by Alan Braithwaite of Segment, there were two main presentations.

• Fast data warehouses on Kubernetes using the ClickHouse operator — Alexander Zaitsev (Altinity)
• Clickhouse Features to Blow your Mind — Alexey Milovidov (Yandex)

Listeners peppered the presenters with questions during both talks. Many ClickHouse users in the Bay Area are using Kubernetes and have already deployed ClickHouse there or plan to. The ClickHouse features talk ran for well over an hour with extremely detailed questions to Alexey on current as well as planned features.

Appreciations and Future Events

We would like to thank Percona and CloudFlare for sponsoring the recent events. The next scheduled US event is August 13th in Silicon Valley.
