Analyze all data, in any format

ClickHouse provides support for 70+ file formats - from Parquet to JSON, CSV, TSV, and many more. For local files, clickhouse-local provides a powerful and portable tool to query, convert and transform data on your local machine, too.

Integrate with your favorite tools

Our vibrant and growing ecosystem of integrations makes it easy to leverage the tools and frameworks you already love - from MySQL-compatible tools, to popular visualization products like Tableau, as well as language clients, dbt, and many more.

Reduce cost and maximize efficiency

Many traditional data warehouses charge per query, limit concurrency, and gate critical features behind higher pricing tiers. With ClickHouse, speed comes out-of-the box. And, you only pay for the compute and compressed storage you actually use.

Simplify your SQL

ClickHouse supports an extensive library of domain-specific functions that scale seamlessly over billions of records, and transform even the most complex queries into simple SQL statements. With ClickHouse, data exploration is easy and powerful.

What our customers say

"With Snowflake, we were using the standard plan, small compute, which cost nearly six times more than ClickHouse Cloud. We got several seconds query time and no materialized views. With ClickHouse Cloud's production instance, we are getting sub-second query time along with materialized views. The decision to switch was a no-brainer for us."

"We used MySQL before, and sometimes the warehouse took two to three hours to generate a report, sometimes causing alerts in the system. It was a pain… When we tested how much time the same reports would take with ClickHouse, people were amazed. We ran the same data, and in a blink of an eye, we had the results."

"With dbt execution orchestrated in various intervals, we can also leverage ClickHouse for internal BI use cases. We’ve found this setup very practical, as we can flexibly create new analytical views of our customer data without moving it from our production operational systems."

Business Intelligence with ClickHouse

Running traditional BI tools on data warehouses for analytics can be costly and often results in performance and concurrency limitations. Companies leverage ClickHouse as their real-time data warehouse to ensure that analytics and business intelligence shine at any scale.

Best-in-class
performance

Unlike other JVM-based solutions which are limited in their ability to scale vertically due to costly GC cycles on larger heaps, ClickHouse leverages the full resources of a machine and scales both horizontally and vertically with hundreds of cores and petabytes of storage.

Flexible and scalable concurrency

With ClickHouse, you can build the powerful Business Intelligence applications your users will love without worrying about responsiveness at scale. Ingest millions of rows per second. Handle the most heavily concurrent workloads. All without compromising query speed.
