I'd like to thank the creators of ClickHouse as i hope they are reading here. We've been using it since 2019 in a single server setup with billions of rows. No problems at all. And query speeds that seem unreal compared to MySQL and pg.

As we did not want to go into the HA/backup/restore details at that time we created a solution that can be quickly recreated from data in other databases.

Interesting presentation from Alexey about Features and Roadmap from May 2021:

I have similar first hand experience with ClickHouse. In the past I have moved custom analytics solution I had built on HBase to a solution running on a single node ClickHouse and had no issues whatsoever. In my current startup I am again using ClickHouse with great success. It's a mind boggling fast. Thanks ClickHouse team for building such an amazing system and for making it open source.
That's exactly a use-case I meant below. Do you use any BI tool to visualize CH queries?
I use Grafana for that. At the moment, we have developed entire internal products based on ClickHouse + Grafana.
