That's a fair question and something we obsess about at ClickHouse! It's mentioned in the post but we maintain continuously updated benchmarks for ClickHouse Cloud and it's on-prem shared nothing counterpart (as well as other databases!). You'll find in [1] the comparison for every ClickHouse deployment option.

From the blog post: "the fastest baseline here is ClickHouse server running on an AWS m5d.24xlarge instance that uses 48 threads for query execution. As you can see, an equivalent cloud service with 48 threads performs very well in comparison for a variety of simple and complex queries represented in the benchmark" so there can be a small difference depending on the sizing but it's something to consider on a case per case basis and often other dimensions need to be taken into account (operational cost, bottomless storage, linear scalability, reliability etc.).

That's impressive. ClickHouse is great but it's a huge PITA to operate on-prem so you guys will be rolling in them moneys. Speaking of, maybe you know someone who had to stay in Russia and didn't go to youse guys or Altinity? We (AliExpress Russia) are looking for a CH DBA to help us implement an on-prem CHaaS. Salary is like $9-10K/month.

Basically, we're looking for the person who has at least some expertise with operating CH in production and paying big money. In four month offering $6K-$7K/month we've got ziltch.
