Summary

The Azure Blob Storage connector for ClickPipes is now generally available, enhancing the capabilities of ClickHouse Cloud by allowing seamless file loading from Azure Blob Storage with improved performance and programmatic access via OpenAPI and Terraform. The connector underwent an extensive beta phase, proving its reliability and scalability for diverse data analytics workloads, and now features a custom HTTP client for better performance, aligning it with other object storage ClickPipes. It supports mature deployments with a new azureblobstorage source type in the ClickPipes OpenAPI specification and the ClickHouse Terraform Provider. The connector is designed for reliability, performance, and security, handling automatic retries, supporting secure access, and optimizing data ingestion. Fully integrated into the ClickHouse Cloud experience, it offers built-in metrics, detailed logs, and cost-effective pricing, making it a compelling alternative to third-party ETL tools. It is accessible to all ClickHouse Cloud customers, supporting a range of service tiers, and aims to simplify ETL processes while reducing data movement costs.
