alt Hacker NewsI really like Clickhouse. Discovered it recently, and man, it's such a breath of fresh air compared to suboptimal solutions I used for analytics. It's so fast and the CLI is also a joy to work with.

Same here. I come from a strong Postgres and Microsoft SQL Server background and I was able to get up to speed with it, ingesting real data from text files, in an afternoon. I was really impressed with the docs as well as the performance of the software.

I remember a few years ago when the views on Clickhouse was it some "legacy" "bulky" and used by "the big guys" and not very much discussion or opinions of it in spaces like this. Seems like its come a long way.

What's the story with the Debian package for it? It was removed as unmaintained.
I always dismissed ClickHouse, because it's all super low level. Building a reliable system out of it, requires a lot of internal knowledge. This is the only DB I know, where you will have to deal with actual files on disk, in case of problems.
However, I managed to look besides that, and oh-my-god it is so fast. It's like the tool is optimized for raw speed and whatever you do with it is up for you.
