Clickhouse is an open-source columnar database designed for high speed, real time analytics on a massive scale. It is engineered to specifically handle the intense data demands of AI agents which increases the complexity and frequency of database queries. It is built to derive insights from enormous datasets allowing for high throughput and low latency. It is currently being used by prominent companies such as Tesla, Sony and Lyft.

Clickhouse has secured a funding rounding from investors, Dragoneer, Lightspeed and others. The investment follows an increasing customer base of 3000 clients and a 250% year on year increase in annual recurring revenue.

Clickhouse acquired Langfuse, an open source platform for monitoring, testing and deploying LLM applications. LLM observability is a critical requirement for teams building AI applications. Unlike traditional system monitoring, the goal is to achieve LLM observability that focuses on quality, accuracy and safety of AI generated outputs. Langfuse was already built with Clickhouse’s architecture. By integrating, Clickhouse aims to create a more seamless way to monitor and improve AI models in production environments.

To simplify the workflow for developers, Clickhouse is introducing a native enterprise grade Postgres service in partnership with Ubicloud. This involves a unified data stack where developers can handle both transactional(Postgres) and analytical (Clickhouse) workloads within a single ecosystem.

The company seeks to expand globally, entering the Japanese market and partnering with Microsoft Azure. With the new capital and expanded product base, Clickhouse aims to transition from being just a database to a comprehensive data and observability platform, for the AI era.
