Profile

Hey HN, I'm Marc. I run Numia, a blockchain data company serving real-time APIs at near-petabyte scale. ObsessionDB is managed ClickHouse we built for ourselves that costs roughly 50% less than other managed options. Now we're launching it as a standalone service.We had the classic split: ClickHouse for real-time analytics APIs, BigQuery for data warehouse workloads. Data replicated between both, costs adding up. Managed ClickHouse worked but was too expensive to put our warehouse workload into. Self-hosted meant replica nodes doubling storage and waiting days to copy 25TB to new replicas.What we really needed was separated storage and compute. SharedMergeTree does this, but it's proprietary

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
