  Does anyone use clickhouse in production? I was initially pretty impressed but when I really put it through its paces I could OoM it as soon as I actually started querying non-trivial amounts of data:

  Is there an ELI5 for this company? I'm having a difficult time understanding it from their website. Is it an alternative to Postgres etc? Something that runs on top of it? And analyzes your DB automatically?

  Is this money for growth or exiting employee options?

  oof, that sucks [for everyone else]. I hope someone figures out how to make a sustainable business of this sort, eventually.

  How hard is it to self host clustered clickhouse? Is there parity with the hosted offering?

  only 2k users?

  with 200$/month I have a good database. $1-5M revenue?

  I love clickhouse and a lot of the team members, but some of the "ClickHouse, Inc." people seem very counter to the original mission of CH, which has been unfortunately been reflected in some negative ways to both the overall OLAP ecosystem, and clickhouse itself.

  I've shared many of those thoughts with their team directly out of love.

  Also that's Series D-E, money isn't real anymore

  I honestly just want to know why they didn't steam their shirts.
