Webinars: Secrets of ClickHouse Query Performance. September 11 or 17
September 11 or 17 , 2019
with Robert HodgesClickHouse is famous for speed.
That said, you can almost always make it faster! This webinar uses examples to teach you how to deduce what queries are actually doing by reading the system log and system tables. We'll then explore standard ways to increase query speed: data types and encodings, filtering, join reordering, skip indexes, materialized views, session parameters, to name just a few. In each case we'll circle back to query plans and system metrics to demonstrate changes in ClickHouse behavior that explain the boost in performance. We hope you'll enjoy the first step to becoming a ClickHouse performance guru!
This topic is so important, that we decided to do this webinar twice! Read more to pick your time.
Webinar: Adding Fast Analytics to MySQL Applications with ClickHouse
October 10 , 2019
with Robert Hodges
Successful MySQL applications have a very common scale problem: how to provide analytics when data grows too large for MySQL to handle. Fortunately, there is a good answer. ClickHouse is a popular, open source column store you can use to add fast analytics to MySQL applications. We'll start with an introduction to ClickHouse for MySQL users showing familiar SQL syntax and table engine design. We'll then walk through important features like support for MySQL wire protocol, ability to read data directly from MySQL tables, and different ways to move data from MySQL into ClickHouse. Finally, we'll touch on design approaches that allow you to extend MySQL applications with analytics that can handle billions of rows.

with Robert Hodges
New users of ClickHouse love the speed but may run into a few surprises when designing applications. Column storage turns classic SQL design precepts on their heads. This talk shares our favorite tricks for building great applications. We'll talk about fact tables and dimensions, materialized views, codecs, arrays, and skip indexes, to name a few of our favorites. We'll show examples of each and also reserve time to handle questions. Join us to take your next step to ClickHouse guruhood!
Webinar: A Practical Introduction to Handling Log Data in ClickHouse
December 17, 2019
with Robert Hodges
Log messages are one of the most important types of application data. ClickHouse is very good at storing log data; many SaaS applications use it under the covers. In this webinar we will show examples of different application logs and how to design tables to store them. Options include using typed columns, strings, JSON, or key-value pair arrays. We'll also discuss how materialized columns to improve filter speed, as well as techniques to tune index granularity for wide rows. This is the first in a series of webinars on log management. Future webinars will cover tools to load data as well as techniques to retrieve log information efficiently.

Webinar: Fast Insight from Fast Data: Integrating ClickHouse and Apache Kafka
January 21, 2020
with Robert Hodges
Apache Kafka is a popular way to load large data volumes quickly to ClickHouse. In this webinar we will cover best practices for integrating Kafka and ClickHouse including setup of Kafka clusters, defining materialized views to pull data into ClickHouse, and organization of target tables. We will also cover alternatives like writing your own connector applications. Altinity is now the community maintainer for ClickHouse Kafka. Our lead Kafka engineer Mikhail Filimonov will be in the webinar to share the latest tips for successful Kafka use. Please join us and bring your questions!
Webinar: ClickHouse Materialized Views. The Magic Continues
February 26, 2020

Webinar. Strength in Numbers: Introduction to ClickHouse Cluster Performance
April 29, 202
with Robert Hodges
ClickHouse clusters apply the power of dozens or even hundreds of nodes to vast datasets. In this webinar we'll show you how to use the basic tools of replication and sharding to create high performance ClickHouse clusters. We'll study the plumbing of inserts into sharded datasets and how to determine the correct number of shards for your desired writes. We'll similarly look at distributed queries and show how to scale read capacity to desired levels using replicas. Finally, we'll look at techniques for scaling up both shards and replicas to accommodate growth in your dataset.
Webinar. MORE secrets of ClickHouse Query Performance
May 27, 2020
with Robert Hodges
ClickHouse is famously fast, but a small amount of extra work makes it much faster. Join us for the latest version of our popular talk on single-node ClickHouse performance. We start by examining the system log to see what ClickHouse queries are doing. Then we introduce standard tricks to increase speed: adding CPUs, reducing I/O with filters, restructuring joins, adding indexes, and using materialized views, plus many more. In each case we show how to measure the results of your work. There will as usual be time for questions as well at the end. Sign up now to polish your ClickHouse performance skills!
