ClickHouse Datastore
Observability and analytics features have big data and insert heavy requirements which are not a good fit for Postgres or Redis. ClickHouse was selected as a good fit to meet these features requirements. ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented database management system. It is attractive for these use cases because it can efficiently filter, aggregate, and sum across large numbers of rows. ClickHouse is not intended to replace Postgres or Redis in GitLab’s stack.
