ClickHouse vs. Elasticsearch: A performance and efficiency showdown

Elasticsearch excels in full-text search scenarios and keyword-based log monitoring, but what happens when your data volume grows significantly?

That’s where ClickHouse comes to the rescue and you can seamlessly handle large data volumes to perform real-time analysis at scale.

Get better performance at a lower cost:

Up to 50х faster load time

Up to 5x smaller storage size

Up to 4X fewer man resources

Up to 5x cost savings

What makes ClickHouse shine

ClickHouse outperforms Elasticsearch with its high-performance columnar database architecture. Its direct disk writing and omission of traditional redo logs enable simple and direct data writes, resulting in exceptional speed. In contrast, Elasticsearch sacrifices real-time visibility of data writes by regularly flushing newly written data from memory storage to disk for search.

ClickHouse’s built-in compression techniques optimize storage utilization, further enhancing its performance. Additionally, ClickHouse excels in scalability, achieving high write throughput through delayed data batch write on the client side. It can handle hundreds of millions of rows per second, setting a new industry benchmark. Learn more
