#2Always enjoyed his lecture series from CMU, hopefully those continue in a sponsored format from Clickhouse.

#3Clickhouse Labs is a research lab for ClickHouse’s engineers and their db product?
Whatever floats your boat. Sounds like you just work as an engineer at a db company

#4> The goal of ClickHouse Labs is to establish a best-in-class industry research organization focused on databases. It will not operate as an isolated research organization that throws ideas over the wall to engineering. Instead, we will work closely with ClickHouse engineers, customers, collaborators, and industry partners to develop and disseminate new ideas that keep ClickHouse at the bleeding edge.
This is cool, though bittersweet that the public research infrastructure (universities) is not really configured to support this kind of high-impact research any more.

#5That's great news for Clickhouse and for Andy I guess, they are both obsessed with databases and are at the cutting edge.

Deep tech fields have a more complex relationship with academia than other industries. Engineers often need license to test ideas that may not see adoption for years, or require tens of millions to build-out.
A "research" arm is exactly this license, although it comes at the cost of potentially killing innovation in the rest of the company.

I'm not sure what you think "research lab" means? As I mentioned in the article, we look at IBM Research (Almaden) and Microsoft Research as inspiration.

#8Congrats, that's incredible news. Watched apavlo@'s lectures while studying in the university and finished my bachelor thesis implementing features and doing research at ClickHouse. Surprised to see these worlds being together now!

C'mon, databases are great but they are not in any way a "deep tech" field. Databases exist today in a zillion production forms as commercial products and free software.
Deep tech includes things like nuclear fusion, solid state batteries, quantum computers. I know everyone wants to feel cool, but just because your new javascript framework will be in beta for the next ten years doesn't make it "deep tech".

#10Hi Andy, that’s very cool
news. Will you be at the HPTS workshop in October?
