Clickhouse: Faster Queries, Faster Answers (with Alasdair Brown)

In modern systems, the amount of data keeps getting larger, and the time available keeps getting shorter.

Alasdair Brown joins us to discuss what Clickhouse is, how it performs queries so quickly, and where it fits into a wider system.
