Great write-up!

I had a similar project back in August when I realised my DB's performance (Postgres) was blocking me from implementing features users commonly ask for (querying out to 30 days of historical uptime data).

I was already blown away at the performance (200ms to query what Postgres was doing in 500-600ms), but then I realized I hadn't put an index on the Clickhouse table. Now the query returns in 50-70ms, and that includes network time.

Materialized views are a great tool for aggregating data in CH since they are automatically updated on insert from the original table. I recommend you to take a look and try it out, maybe it'll go down to single digit milliseconds!

And there are 2 kinds of those: the other is refreshable materialized views, which run on schedule, can have dependencies between them, thus can implement quite complex data transformation pipelines.
