Introducing Managed ClickStack and redefining the economics of observability

Managed ClickStack for ClickHouse Cloud has been announced in beta, offering a streamlined approach to utilizing ClickHouse for observability by providing fast queries and powerful analytics across various data types without the need for managing infrastructure. Emphasizing cost efficiency, it allows users to store high-cardinality OpenTelemetry data at a significantly reduced price, scaling logs, metrics, and traces independently and eliminating traditional constraints like reduced retention periods and sampling. The platform fosters an economic shift in observability, enabling long-term data retention without hefty costs, and is built on a foundation that supports separation of storage and compute, allowing users to pay only for what they use. Managed ClickStack aims to unify observability data with other business and application datasets in a single platform, facilitating deeper insights and correlations, thus setting the stage for future advancements in agentic workloads and AI-driven data interaction. Existing ClickStack Open Source users can seamlessly transition to this managed service, and new users can begin with a ClickHouse Cloud trial, which includes ample credits to explore the benefits of the platform. As the beta progresses, the offering will expand and refine, with ongoing community engagement encouraged to shape its development.
