Love clickhouse it is just super performant. I've had to tweak a few queries for performance here and there but it has been more than stellar. I'd initially set up a real time pipeline ingest for us to handle our larger incremental ingests when i started (used redshift in the past, very expensive and quite slow in comparison), it has been unnecessary so far, as clickhouse has just been able to chew through tons of data and large transformations without breaking a sweat.

Only issue i had was that the default configuration had some quite heavy handed tracing turned on which tanked performance on the relatively little machine we had for it, it has since been scaled up and is the core of our data stack.

I can't recommend clickhouse enough. If you were truly large I'd probably choose something else, but as long as we're staying on a few nodes it is manageable complexity and we enjoy using it.
