Our take
Database management systems have long been important to the operations of businesses. However, these systems can be painfully slow. ClickHouse solves this problem with its ultra-fast database management system, that powers real-time analytics and apps.
ClickHouse's founding team hail from companies including Yahoo!, Netflix, Salesforce and Google. This has not only lent the company an impressive amount of credibility, but has also allowed it to identify the needs and challenges of enterprises when it comes to their databases. Its system works between 100 and 1,000 times faster than traditional options, and has led to the company being trusted by the likes of eBay, Uber and Spotify.
It has seen substantial funding too, the most recent of which is cited to help advance its platform across multiple use cases. Alongside this funding, it recently announced the acquisition of LibreChat, an open-source AI chat platform, allowing ClickHouse to launch its Agentic Data Stack. This move positions the company at the forefront of agentic analytics, allowing organizations to interact with massive datasets through AI agents, and demonstrates ClickHouses's commitment to shaping the future of real-time,. intelligent data analysis.
