Summary

ClickHouse Government is a solution designed for the public sector, focusing on performance, cost savings, ease of deployment, and security. The company behind ClickHouse, Inc., founded in 2021, has developed a proprietary cloud-native architecture that supports ClickHouse Cloud on AWS, GCP, and Azure, with support for Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployments. This architecture is used to build ClickHouse Government, which provides performance, cost efficiency, and security features, including separation of compute and storage, object storage, and ZSTD compression algorithm. The solution is initially available in AWS and will be deployed to other clouds or hardware-based environments upon request. It offers proprietary features such as SharedMergeTree, improved insert throughput, and stronger consistency for select queries, while also providing compression benefits compared to other cloud providers. ClickHouse Government aims to help public sector customers achieve near-unbelievable levels of speed and compression, resulting in 2-10x improved performance and 3-5x cost savings over other providers. The solution is pre-configured with FIPS 140-3 level encryption, baseline security hardening, and deployment support via Helm charts, making it easier to implement and comply with security standards such as FedRAMP Moderate and IL 2-6.
