Aiven For Clickhouse Is More Than A Fast Database Service

Aiven for ClickHouse® has become a favorite on the platform thanks to its blazing-fast analytical querying, built specifically to handle the unique challenges of OLAP workloads. It excels at crunching massive datasets in real-time, making it a favorite for demanding applications like log analytics, web analytics, and ad tech. At Aiven, we understand the power that ClickHouse can unlock for businesses of any size. We've helped start ups halve their storage requirement and see a performance uplift from making the switch. With Aiven for ClickHouse, you get the fantastic open source ClickHouse service on dedicated compute. We also include the extra features like SSO, backups, and scheduled upgrades, features others charge for, in the upfront price.

Aiven’s unified administration gives you robust user account management options, including single-sign-on (SSO). This brings enhanced security and simplified user management for all teams, regardless of size. It also means all of your Aiven-supported services have consolidated billing. If you want to consolidate billing and management even further with services, not on the Aiven platform, consider registering through one of our partner marketplaces.

Speaking of other services, Aiven’s allows for simple setup and integration with other Aiven services and steps to integrate with other 3rd-Party integrations.

Your data is also stored and transferred aligned with industry best practices and in compliance with ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR. Again, this is for all tier levels, not just the most expensive.

Our goal is to provide a consistent experience on our platform, not just in the state you need today but in the future. Aiven's offering is price-competitive for all companies but becomes even more compelling to companies with enterprise-level needs as scaling can become even more challenging. We keep our feature set at all tiers the same to ensure that even if you are a startup you have what you need without having to pay extra.

Transparent, Predictable Pricing That Scales With Your Needs

On top of the security features, the quick and reliable ability to scale, and transparent pricing, we also offer hands-on support to all tiers within your account. With Premium support, you get a dedicated account team with a Solutions Architect to advise on your infrastructure decisions.

Aiven understands that easy-to-predict pricing saves not just money but time. We’ve always had predictable pricing. Simply choose the service you want to run, the plan size based on the resources you need, select your cloud, and voila you know the cost. No separate fees for backups or features others label as “enterprise”. We've talked a lot about the features so let's look at a more detailed breakdown of what those are and what we offer at Aiven.
