Rebuilding Enterprise Observability with ClickHouse® & OpenTelemetry

Modern observability stacks were not built for the scale, cost, and ownership demands of today’s enterprises. 

In this follow-up to “Observability Is Broken,” Josh and Denys will show what a modern open observability architecture can look like with ClickHouse at the center: fast analytical storage for logs, metrics, traces, and events; OpenTelemetry-native ingestion; and lakehouse patterns that make observability data economical, portable, and reusable.

We’ll end with an exploration of federated enterprise-scale observability, sharing techniques to create single panes of glass on top of multitenant systems. 

The discussion will include schema strategy, tiered storage, query performance, and instrumentation, pipelines, storage, and visualization. Along the way, Josh & Denys will share sneak peeks at Altinity’s upcoming internal observability project: an open observability lakehouse built around ClickHouse, Iceberg, and OpenTelemetry
