As an SRE, I used to install one tool for every data format until I came across clickhouse-local. Now I use it for everything.

- It works with every data format which I come across in my daily job. It support data formats like Protobuf, Avro, Cap'n Proto which regular tools don't support. Funny thing, it can even read mysql dumps.

- I can read the data stored in local or remote location like http, s3, gcs, azure and whatever location I can think of.

- I can SQL queries on the raw data and improve my SQL skills on daily basis.
