NYC Meetup Report: High-Speed Content Distribution Analytics for Streaming Platforms (Disney+)

Disney's Observability team uses ClickHouse to process and analyze access logs for their content distribution system, which has a client-server model. This allows them to identify issues like latency and make sense of the data. The team chose ClickHouse over other options due to its simplicity and lightweight architecture, which provides impressive performance with 3 million rows written per second and 2 billion rows read per second. They are planning to upgrade to a larger cluster to improve their data management capabilities. ClickHouse's flexibility and automation features make it easy to monitor various aspects of the system and replace other tools like Influx. The team finds it an ideal option for processing access logs and providing analytics on Disney+'s content distribution system.
