Managers rejected it because it wasn't well known and was seen as "some database made by Russians."
On a personal level, it's quite sad to have seen that train coming so early and not been able to get on board.
Wow
ClickHouse replacing Loki finally made our observability stack feel 'right'. It really is a powerhouse for logs and general analytical queries.
I discovered ClickHouse around 2017-18 and built a PoC to replace Elasticsearch: 5x better storage and qps, in a couple of weeks.

ClickHouse recently has been a breath of fresh air compared to using timescaledb for a long time. Although psql is the greatest there is and I really enjoyed the fact that I could rely on a single database system to run everything, when it came to migration maintenance and deployment it's really a pain and it also feels like development on timescaledb is a bit wishy washy with all the structural changes from version…
In my current setup I was thinking on doing both: upgrading postgresql to timescaledb (to archive old data etc.), and to deploy ClickHouse in parallel. I'm still considering whether to go big on PeerDB to get ClickHouse mirror or just deploy it separately without additional fragility layer.
Would you not recommend using timescaledb at all? I definitely want to avoid alpha-quality software pain, since PostgreSQL is one of the most rock-solid parts of the stack at the moment.
> You can open a pull request as an experiment, without aiming for it to be merged - it will be tested with the same level of scrutiny as production releases. Found a new memory allocator, a new compression library, a new hash table, a data format, or a sorting algorithm? - bring it to ClickHouse, and it will expose it inside-out Wow

I was using TimescaleDB some very long time ago, things have changed quite a lot since (it's now even named differently).
