<p>We are very excited to announce that we've launched an <a href="https://www.tinybird.co/clickhouse/knowledge-base/">open source ClickHouse® Knowledge Base</a>. Please feel free to check it out, and if you are so inclined, contribute to the <a href="https://github.com/tinybirdco/clickhouse_knowledge_base">public repo</a>.</p><p>Tinybird is built on top of <a href="https://github.com/ClickHouse®/ClickHouse®/">ClickHouse®</a>, and we employ several ClickHouse® developers who contribute daily to the lightning-fast open-source database to make it… well… lightning-faster.</p><p>In fact, our team has over 40 years of combined experience working with ClickHouse®. Not bad for a database whose initial release was only 6 years ago.</p><p>Over the course of the time that we’ve been building Tinybird and contributing to ClickHouse®, we’ve learned a lot about the column-oriented OLAP. The more we know, the more we love. It’s a perfect analytical database to solve the problems that data companies are trying to solve right now: namely operationalizing complex analytical queries and building products on top of them.</p><p>If you’re exploring different ways to run ClickHouse® in production, this overview of [managed ClickHouse® options](https://www.tinybird.co/blog-posts/managed-clickhouse-options) breaks down the tradeoffs between self-hosting, cloud-managed services, and fully serverless platforms. It’s a helpful companion resource for teams deciding how to balance performance, cost, and operational overhead as they scale their analytical workloads.</p><p>We’ve launched this knowledge base to celebrate our continued investment in the ClickHouse® open source project, and to help our customers, friends, and the broader ClickHouse® community make the most of this incredible OLAP powerhouse. We intend to add new tips almost daily.</p><p>Feel free to check it out. If you learn something, please share it wherever you scroll. And if you’ve got some ClickHouse® magic up your sleeve that you want to share, please contribute!</p>
