ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented database management system (OLAP) designed for real-time analytical queries over large datasets, developed by Yandex (Russia's largest search engine) and open-sourced in 2016. ClickHouse achieves extraordinary query performance by storing data column-by-column (not row-by-row), enabling highly efficient compression and vectorized processing — queries scanning billions of rows return in seconds rather than minutes.
