ClickHouse Cloud

Managed real-time analytical database with published per-hour pricing

Overview

ClickHouse is a column-oriented analytical database; the open-source version is described by the company as free forever, and ClickHouse Cloud is its managed service[14].

ClickHouse Cloud bills compute per compute unit (8 GiB of RAM and two vCPUs) per hour and storage per terabyte per month, with compute scaling to zero when idle. On AWS us-east-1, compute costs about US$0.218 (Basic), US$0.298 (Scale) or US$0.390 (Enterprise) per unit-hour and storage US$25.30 per TB-month; Google Cloud and Azure rates differ slightly[14]. Basic is limited to 1 TB of storage and one availability zone; Scale adds unlimited storage, compute-compute separation, multiple availability zones, private networking and automatic vertical scaling; Enterprise adds SAML SSO, private regions, customer-managed encryption keys and HIPAA and PCI compliance[14]. A trial gives US$300 of credit over 30 days without a card[14].

ClickHouse suits user-facing analytics, observability and real-time dashboards needing sub-second responses at high concurrency. It is less suited to complex multi-table enterprise modelling than general-purpose warehouses, and backups, ClickPipes ingestion and egress are billed separately[14].
