Frequently asked questions

Why ClickHouse for observability?

Columnar storage compresses telemetry heavily and speeds up aggregations, even at high cardinality.

Do I need to write SQL?

Not for everyday search in HyperDX; SQL becomes an asset for advanced analysis and joins with your business data.
