This approach allows companies to combine the security and control of private clouds with public clouds’ scalability and innovation potential. The public cloud’s ability to scale efficiently enables ‘cloudbursting’ when demand spikes without requiring businesses to overprovision their own infrastructures.

With more automated approaches to log monitoring and log analysis, however, organizations can gain visibility into their applications and infrastructure efficiently and with greater precision—even as cloud environments grow. “The weakness of a data lake is they fail when you need to access them fast,” Pawlowski said.

NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. At the same time, NoSQL data modeling is not so well studied and lacks the systematic theory found in relational databases. The second one is database-managed indexes, at least in some implementations.

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. However, ClickHouse is super efficient for timeseries and provides “sharding” out of the box (scalability beyond one node).
