ClickStack: A (half) year in review

ClickStack, launched in May, has rapidly evolved by integrating key features such as native JSON support, dashboards import/export, and materialized views, improving performance and functionality across the platform. The product was designed to democratize observability by offering an open-source, end-to-end experience that leverages the power of ClickHouse for storing and querying high-cardinality data. Its integration with ClickHouse Cloud allows for seamless observability and analytics workflows, eliminating the need for separate infrastructure management. Throughout the year, ClickStack introduced significant enhancements like HyperDX's UI, support for custom OpenTelemetry configurations, and innovative features such as Service Maps and Event Deltas, aimed at improving user experience and scalability. As ClickStack looks towards 2026, plans include deeper cloud integration, AI-powered tools, anomaly detection, and a fully managed ClickStack experience within ClickHouse Cloud, positioning it as a leading open-source observability solution.
