With a $2 billion valuation, ClickHouse, the company that developed the online OLAP database management system, has raised $250 million in Series B funding from Coatue and Altimeter. The investment indicates that ClickHouse’s technology and quick uptake by leading companies in the sector are about to dominate the market.
“For years, we have kept track of the ClickHouse initiative. In order to help this team grow and succeed in becoming a leader in this big, expanding market, we are thrilled to work with them, said Caryn Marooney, General Partner at Coatue.
High-performance, powerful and elegant database management system; ClickHouse is an open-source, real-time analytics tool that surpasses similar commercial applications. Its efficiency is unmatched: handling anything up to 10 billion rows, on up to a billion records per second.
The technology was first developed at Yandex, Europe’s leading internet service for websites and mobile applications–the European Amazon.
A decade ago it was powering large-scale web analytics platforms for business intelligence reporting purposes. Today, engineers from around the world, who gathered in 2017 at the largest meeting of systems programmers in Russia (Systems programming conference “Sysadmin”), call it “the best product on the market.”
With the adoption of ClickHouse by well-known corporations like Uber, Comcast, eBay, and Cisco, open-source software saw exponential growth in 2016. About 20,000 pull requests have been submitted by over 800 authors since 2016.
The goal of Cloudflare is to improve the Internet. Usman Muzaffar, Cloudflare’s Head of Engineering, explained that with a goal so large, the company is careful to connect with technologies that can scale with it.
We can identify malicious activity and offer customers in-depth insights thanks to ClickHouse’s efficient and dependable log analysis of trillions of Internet requests. We have backed ClickHouse for a very long time and value how it helped us scale log processing as we grew one of the biggest networks in the world.
