sounds good to me

Having administered Druid for several years, ClickHouse's supposed simplicity is definitely appealing were I to start a new project with similar requirements. Then again, back then, I needed Petabyte scale and > 1 million inserts/sec and ClickHouse couldn't do it.

I managed to do 5m/s in a single server. Something must be off.

Depends on how big your structs are coming in, how you are holding on to the data, and what else you are doing with it on ingestion.

I've been using ClickHouse in production to do things I just couldn't do with any other technology, it's not only simpler.

AFAIK, there is a comparable benchmark done on the latest versions for both. Druid definitely has a lot more production deployments as of today though.

You're right. Clickhouse is the kind of viral grass-roots tech that eventually spontaneously appears in every enterprise.

And that happens because it's very easy to work with and gives value to business on the day 1.
