DoK #65 Using Kubernetes and ClickHouse to enable high performance app analytics // Robert Hodges

Data on Kubernetes Community

Abstract of the talk…

Embedded analytics are a major source of value to application users. Virtually every SaaS offering has them or is adding them now. This talk shows how to build low latency analytic applications on Kubernetes with ClickHouse, a popular, open source data warehouse. We'll start with the ClickHouse Kubernetes Operator to manage data warehouses, then cover ingest and visualization options to build a complete apps. Since this is a K8s talk, we'll of course geek out on the underlying plumbing as well.
