Your notes aren't very good. They're not a time series database company, they're a columnar database company. But yeah the LLM bit is weird, database companies _always_ feel like charlatans when it comes to LLMs.
- vegabook 9mo agoWilling to bet most columnar stores are used for time series.
- hodgesrm 9mo agoClickHouse effectively has a number of personas. Time series is one of them, and ClickHouse has steadily absorbed market share from pure play time series databases over the last few years. Other personas include real-time observability backend (the single biggest use case in my experience) as well as real-time data lake engine. Time series support, column storage, and real-time response are key underlying capabilities. It's quite versatile and fun to use. Disclosure: I run Altinity, a vendor in this space. (Update: Disclaimer -> Disclosure. Sigh.)
- swyx 9mo agoAltinity isn't just a vendor, it's THE ClickHouse vendor before ClickHouse became a company. https://altinity.com/blog/big-news-in-the-clickhouse-community https://altinity.com/blog/big-news-in-the-clickhouse-communi... always nice to see a database ceo be "one of us" and/or "write like a real human being".
- hodgesrm 9mo agoThat's very kind of you. We love working on ClickHouse and real-time analytics.
