Supercharge your Analytics with ClickHouse, v.2

Presented at Silicon Valley Meetup, October 25, 2017
It’s an updates version of the presentation with additional slides.

Overview: ClickHouse is a real-time analytical database system. Even though they’re only celebrating one year as open source software, it has already proved itself ready for the serious workloads.

We talk about ClickHouse in general, some internals and why it is so fast. ClickHouse works in conjunction with MySQL — traditionally weak for analytical workloads — and this presentation demonstrates how to make the two systems work together.
