  • > The goal of ClickHouse Labs is to establish a best-in-class industry research organization focused on databases. It will not operate as an isolated research organization that throws ideas over the wall to engineering. Instead, we will work closely with ClickHouse engineers, customers, collaborators, and industry partners to develop and disseminate new ideas that keep ClickHouse at the bleeding edge.

    This is cool, though bittersweet that the public research infrastructure (universities) is not really configured to support this kind of high-impact research any more.

  • Andy taught me a lot about trolling. I also hear he's banned from every post office within 50 miles of Baltimore.

  • Clickhouse just became the hottest talent-attraction on the market.

    Congrats Andy, hope you enjoy the ride =)

  • Congrats, that's incredible news. Watched apavlo@'s lectures while studying in the university and finished my bachelor thesis implementing features and doing research at ClickHouse. Surprised to see these worlds being together now!

  • Its refreshing to see corporate research labs in a non AI area. Clickhouse has been a huge beneficiary of the AI wave and its good to see some of the value going into advancing fundamental research in infrastructure

  • Always enjoyed his lecture series from CMU, hopefully those continue in a sponsored format from Clickhouse.

  • I'm very curious about the convergence of the best in class fast OLAP products (StarRocks, ClickHouse) with Trino. It sounds like everybody is going for decoupled compute/storage, using S3 or similar as the storage layer, and thus forgoing colocated joins (ok I know ClickHouse joins suck)...

    So what does this mean for ingestion (and indexing)? Iceberg V3? Paimon? Bespoke ingestion through the DB engine to do the indexing?

  • Looks like Andy's here, so if you see this - please also try to convince ClickHouse to consider funding DB research in academia. With all the money being poured into AI and the chaos in government funding, there is almost nothing for DB research anymore.
