> The goal of ClickHouse Labs is to establish a best-in-class industry research organization focused on databases. It will not operate as an isolated research organization that throws ideas over the wall to engineering. Instead, we will work closely with ClickHouse engineers, customers, collaborators, and industry partners to develop and disseminate new ideas that keep ClickHouse at the bleeding edge.
This is cool, though bittersweet that the public research infrastructure (universities) is not really configured to support this kind of high-impact research any more.
- Ar-Curunir 2mo agoWhat do you mean? There’s plenty of high impact research on databases happening in academia. (Including, for example, Andy’s group at CMU) Also keep in mind that the part you quoted is partially marketing copy.

- kenferry 2mo agoThere are areas of academia where I definitely worry about this kind of thing, but not really database research (and in general CS is a lot less worrisome than most fields). It's a good thing when industry is a competitively attractive environment for research, which is how I read this.
