I think optimizations that you focus on for self-hosted ClickHouse are the same as for Cloud. In self-hosted it helps to improve your throughput/capacity with fixed allocated resources. In cloud it directly affects cost.

For those complex pipelines you may find more useful to run tests during trial. Data distribution, partitioning and so on can change actual cost significantly so estimates can be too pessimistic or optimistic

Right, that's exactly what I don't want to deal with. Unless I have even just a ballpark estimate of complex pipelines both before I commit to any sales crap and afterwards when we're designing new pipelines, it's just not an option for us at all. I have no clue if it's going to cost us $10, $100, or $10000.
