By Zander Matheson & Laura Funderburk

Welcome, everyone. In today’s video, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up streaming analytics using ClickHouse, a powerful real-time OLAP database, in combination with Bytewax. We’ll discuss the origins and benefits of ClickHouse, focusing on its column-oriented storage approach, which enhances speed and efficiency.

You’ll learn about practical use cases, such as clickstream analytics and financial data processing, and see a step-by-step demonstration of:

  • Installing the Bytewax ClickHouse connector

  • Setting up schemas and configurations in ClickHouse

  • Building and configuring a data flow in Bytewax

  • Transforming and merging data streams before ingestion into ClickHouse

  • Utilizing ClickHouse operators for optimized data processing.
