Past trepidation — about perceived vulnerabilities and performance issues — has faded as decision makers realize what an “open source database” really is and what it offers. For example, an analytics application would work best with unstructured image files stored in a non-relational graph database.

Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. Poor performance has a compound effect on user expectations at an ecosystem level. Live by the link, die by the link.

What if we use ClickHouse (which is a columnar analytical database) as our main datastore? Well, typically, an analytical database is not a replacement for a transactional or key/value datastore. This information can be a mix of analytical (OLAP) queries (i.e. Analytical databases are optimized for a low number of slow queries.
