ClickHouse delivers exceptional speed and performance, positioning it as the top choice for managing large-scale analytical workloads. With a bunch of built-in functions, it empowers analysts to extract maximum insights from data effortlessly. If your scenario is to deal with analytical questions, then ClickHouse is for you, but if you are looking into a transactional database, that's not the case; even their table engines are not made for this.

Pros
  • Their MergeTree table engine provide impressive performance for data insert in bulk
  • Not only data insert but also the way MergeTree engine uses Primary Keys to sort the data and perform data skipping based on the granules its also their secret for ridiculous fast queries
  • Data compression its also great
  • They provide especial table engines that allow you to read data directly from other sources like S3
  • Since its written with C++ you have very granular data types and especial ones like enum, LowCardinality and etc, they save you a lot of storage since are stored as integer values
  • ClickHouse functions besides the ones that respect ANSI Standards are also awesome and useful
