ClickHouse and S3 Compatible Object Storage
ClickHouse is a polyglot database that can talk to many external systems using dedicated engines or table functions. In modern cloud systems, the most important external system is object storage. It can hold raw data to import from or export to other systems (aka a data lake) and offer cheap and highly durable storage for table data. ClickHouse now supports both of these uses for S3 compatible object storage.
