Alkin Tezuysal speaks at Open Source Experience. The conference is the Tech – Usage – Business event dedicated to Open Source IT solutions, bringing together over 4,000 professionals and players in the digital sector over 2 days!

Open Source Experience focuses on open source technologies, solutions and challenges in France and Europe, and highlights the driving role of open source innovations in the digital transformation of organisations in technologies such as AI, Data Management, Cloud, and Cybersecurity.

ClickHouse is a high-performance columnar database designed for analytical workloads, but running it efficiently in cloud-native environments presents unique challenges. Alkin’s talk explores the architecture of ClickHouse and provides strategies for scaling it to handle massive data streams in containerized and distributed systems.

We’ll cover topics like volume provisioning, efficient data ingestion pipelines, query optimization, and orchestration with Kubernetes. Real-world examples will demonstrate how to tackle common bottlenecks, improve performance, and reduce costs while maintaining reliability in cloud-native setups. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to build robust, scalable storage and analytics solutions with ClickHouse in modern environments.

Benefits to the ecosystem: This talk benefits the ecosystem by providing strategies for efficiently running and scaling ClickHouse in Kubernetes environments. It covers data ingestion, query optimization, and orchestration, helping teams build high-performance, cost-effective analytics solutions.
