You can't use ClickHouse this way. It does not have ACID transactions and the main table type (MergeTree) is optimized for reads on append-only workloads that operate on large blocks. MySQL & PostgreSQL are vastly better for OLTP u

Ezra Pound translated Chinese poetry using a somewhat similar method. [0] He did not know Chinese at all. Le Guin was likely aware of his work as the translations were well known and even today are included in anthologies of his poems. [0]

Most startups want to sell you the equivalent of those airline kiosks where you tag your own luggage, because they are cheap to deploy and don't have high labor costs. The problems you describe are labor-intensive and not easy to solve

I see that Glasskube is licensed under Apache 2.0. Do you plan to contribute it to the CNCF? Many of us are very skeptical of base infra that is not protected by a foundation.
