Hey, sorry if that wasn't clear enough (author here).

We decided not to go with ClickHouse because we were mostly looking for a SaaS solution. That's pretty much why we also didn't spend too much time on Druid either.

Choosing Citus meant we could leverage a technology that we already had a bit of experience with (Postgres) and not have to really care about the infrastructure underneath it. We're still a fairly small team and those are meaningful factor to us.

At the end of day I'm sure all those systems would do the job fine (ClickHouse or Druid), we just went for what seemed the easiest to implement and scale.

That makes sense. If you do ever want to check out Clickhouse and want someone to run it for you, Percona or Altinity [1] can probably help. Not affiliated with either, I just read their Clickhouse-related content.
