⁠What is ClickHouse?

ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented database management system that allows generating analytical data reports in real time.

It currently powers Yandex.Metrica⁠, world’s second largest⁠ web analytics platform, with over 13 trillion database records and over 20 billion events a day, generating customized reports on-the-fly, directly from non-aggregated data. This system was successfully implemented at CERN’s LHCb experiment⁠ to store and process metadata on 10bn events with over 1000 attributes per event registered in 2011.
