Summary

The ClickHouse Cloud Billing API has been released, providing programmatic access to billing and usage data. This allows teams to track and manage costs more efficiently, integrate with observability tools, automate cost reporting for finance teams, and enable usage-based billing for downstream customers. The new API is showcased through an integration with Vantage, a leading cloud cost management platform, which has demonstrated the art of the possible by transforming raw billing data into actionable insights that help teams gain deeper cost visibility and optimize analytics spend. The integration provides users with full visibility into ClickHouse Cloud costs, enabling them to avoid challenges such as inefficient compute scaling, new services unknowingly spun up, and growing data egress fees. With this integration, teams can now automatically ingest and visualize ClickHouse costs directly in Vantage, alongside multiple cloud provider integrations, and use existing features to enable cost alerts, create business metrics on top of ClickHouse Cloud costs, and include ClickHouse costs in cost reports.
