This year we actually exceeded a thousand active replicas. That's processing hundreds of millions of inserted rows every second, which actually corresponds to quite a significantly larger number of events because we've been using a lot of sampling.

We have multiple clusters deployed on our hardware with hundreds of hosts. Our main cluster is now geo-replicated, and we designate some replicas for read-heavy operations and others for write-heavy operations. Many of our tables are quite large, with trillions and trillions of rows, as well as tens of columns.

At Lyft, we ingest tens of millions of rows and execute millions of read queries in ClickHouse daily with volume continuing to increase. On a monthly basis, this means reading and writing more than 25TB of data.

In the post-evaluation of each database against our criteria (with metrics ranging from query performance to cost), ClickHouse emerged as the unrivaled frontrunner. It excelled across the board, even astonishingly so in certain domains, and proved more cost-efficient.
