ClickHouse Cloud provides painless configuration management for on-premise ClickHouse deployments`, allowing users to focus on data analysis, while support engineers must stay up-to-date with features and provide world-class support. To assist with this, ClickHouse Support is providing docker-compose files for production deployments of ClickHouse beyond a simple single server installation, giving users confidence in their tested architecture. The deployment considerations depend on the stage of the ClickHouse journey, whether it's running ClickHouse Cloud or setting up a single server for data import and analysis. `One shard until hardware capacity is reached` is the general guideline for determining the number of shards needed. Additional resources and examples are available on the ClickHouse documentation website and GitHub repo.
