I wonder how this will play out with https://altinity.com who have been doing enterprise support for quite some time..

I run Altinity. We think it's great. This is going to help grow adoption which benefits everyone. Watch our blog for a post in a couple hours.

BTW congrats to Alexey on the new company.

As a sidenote, I saw your talk on Clickhouse to the CMU database group [1] back when and was extremely impressed with your deep technical knowledge yet down-to-earth presentation. Still haven't had an opportunity to use Clickhouse for production work, but would welcome it.

Thank you!! That was the most fun I've ever had on a tech talk. Any Pavlo is a one man army when it comes to fun questions and there were more like him in the audience. The whole series of quarantine talks was great.

Thank you! This is an important milestone for ClickHouse and will benefit the entire ecosystem.

We are using Altinity too. Great support up to now. We are about to go live with it. For us (see my bio for company link) having a company manage the cluster was paramount. We just want to use the data and API, not manage the machines/VM's and k8s clustering stuff.

Cool! Thank you so much for posting. We get a huge kick when projects go live. (Being a manager has not beaten it out of me.)

We recently setup Clickhouse on GKE using the Altinity operator (and signed up for Altinity support).

There's been so many queries where I've thought 'that's going to need a join and aggregation across tens of billions of rows, no way!' - and then Clickhouse spits back a query result in 10 seconds...

I think similar to other situations e.g Starburst with Presto/Trino. There really are a limited number of devs pushing a long the core projects and a lot of people needing support. Each start up in the space can likely grow the pie for support and adoption and a few big enterprises will still hire in house devs.
