The author aims to create a custom front-end visualization that fetches data from a ClickHouse instance using a managed instance of ClickHouse from Altinity Cloud and Cube Cloud as the metrics API layer. They use the public GitHub Events dataset, which has over 3 billion elements, to demonstrate their setup. The author explains how they set up a ClickHouse cluster on Altinity.Cloud, imports the GitHub Events dataset, and writes analytical queries using Cube Cloud's SQL generation feature. With Cube Cloud, the author demonstrates how to generate metrics charts for their analytics, add role-based access rights, and use multi-tenancy support out-of-the-box. The goal is to provide a simpler and safer way of using ClickHouse by leveraging Altinity.Cloud and Cube Cloud.
