Episode notes
Origin Story From Yandex To Startup
- ClickHouse originated inside Yandex and was developed by Alexey Mironov and others for years before the spinout.
- Aaron Katz joined as CEO while the original engineers and cofounders led technical development.
Real-Time Speed At Petabyte Scale
- ClickHouse excels at fast, real-time queries over very large, growing datasets with high ingestion volume.
- It delivers sub-second to hundreds-of-milliseconds responses across petabyte-scale data for analytics and observability use cases.
Pick Your Open Source Monetization Path
- Choose a business model deliberately when commercializing open source: support, enterprise features, or cloud.
- Aaron recommends raising enough capital to pursue a cloud-first route if you plan to be cloud-native.
