ClickHouse announced the acquisition of HyperDX, an open-source observability platform built on ClickHouse.
This strategic acquisition reinforces ClickHouse's commitment to delivering the fastest, most cost-effective, and scalable solutions to developers and enterprises worldwide; including observability.
The acquisition combines ClickHouse's performance and scalability with HyperDX's developer-first experience, creating a comprehensive observability platform that seamlessly integrates session replay, exceptions, logs, infrastructure metrics, and distributed tracing through an OpenTelemetry-native approach.
"Observability is fundamentally a data problem," said Tanya Bragin, VP of Product & Marketing at ClickHouse. "The dataset size dictates how difficult and expensive it will be to build an observability platform. That's why ClickHouse has been the backbone of observability platforms for years, powering logging, metrics, and tracing solutions at companies like eBay and Netflix."
ClickHouse originally explored new observability solutions while transitioning from Datadog to their in-house LogHouse stack (How we Built a 19 PiB Logging Platform with ClickHouse and Saved Millions), which was built on ClickHouse to handle their petabyte-scale workloads. During this process, they discovered HyperDX and saw how easily it could transform an existing ClickHouse deployment into a full observability platform.
"When we started HyperDX, we had two core beliefs: we wanted to build the best open-source observability platform, and ClickHouse was the ONLY database to power it," said Michael Shi, CEO at HyperDX. "Our mission has always been to help engineers diagnose and resolve production issues faster, and ClickHouse has been a foundational part of that journey from day one."
Through conversations, the companies discovered they shared the same vision:
- Observability should be cost-effective and developer-friendly
- ClickHouse's performance and scalability make it the best foundation for observability
- HyperDX's developer-first experience makes it effortless for teams to implement
The integration provides numerous benefits, including:
- Standards-Based Data Collection – Both ClickHouse and HyperDX are committed to OpenTelemetry, with ClickHouse now maintaining the ClickHouse OpenTelemetry exporter
- Open-Source First – Making robust observability accessible to everyone, with cloud offerings providing a simple, cost-effective operational experience
- Flexible Data Access – Direct access to observability data with multiple analysis options
- Blazing Fast Performance – Query terabytes in seconds for real-time troubleshooting
HyperDX Cloud will continue serving and onboarding new customers, and the open-source project will remain actively maintained and developed. At the same time, the joint roadmap focuses on bringing even more powerful observability tools to engineers.
