Our CEO, Robert Hodges, is presenting the talk Cheap, Fast, Scalable: Introducing Analytics with Open Source ClickHouse® at the PDXPUG: OSS Database Spotlight Clickhouse Meetup on September 4th.
Real-time analytic databases are indispensable tools for quick insights on large datasets, and ClickHouse currently leads the pack in speed and usage. This talk shows the major features that make ClickHouse popular for real-time analytics and provides a jumping-off point to build your own apps. We’ll explain the internals of ClickHouse and provide explicit guidance on when to reach for it. (And when not to.;) We will also demo new work from Altinity that adds separable compute and storage using shared Apache Iceberg tables. We’ll include thoughts on design patterns for using PostgreSQL and ClickHouse productively together.
