Aiven has introduced new pricing plans for its ClickHouse service, allowing users to either double their compute power at the same cost or reduce total expenses by up to 30%, depending on usage. Through comprehensive benchmarking against AWS and GCP instances, Aiven identified optimal configurations to deliver improved performance and cost-effectiveness for ClickHouse workloads. The analysis utilized the ClickBench standard and involved testing various instance types, focusing on ARM processors for AWS, particularly the m8g series with EBS, and the C4 family with Hyperdisk for GCP. This approach prioritizes flexible, dynamic storage solutions over fixed SSD sizes, enhancing scalability and cost-efficiency. Aiven's commitment to leveraging the latest cloud advancements ensures that users benefit from cutting-edge infrastructure, providing superior price-performance and peace of mind by removing the complexity of VM selection.
