ClickHouse announces a native, high-performance Postgres service integrated with its real-time analytical database, creating a unified data stack for transactional and analytical workloads in modern real-time and AI-driven applications.
ClickHouse, Inc., the company behind the world’s fastest real-time analytical database, has introduced a high-performance Postgres service natively integrated with ClickHouse. Developed in partnership with Ubicloud, Inc., this offering delivers a unified data stack that combines production-grade transactional processing with ClickHouse’s exceptional analytical performance.
Modern real-time and AI-driven applications demand both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) capabilities without the overhead of managing separate systems. This service addresses that need by providing a tightly integrated foundation: high-performance Postgres backed by NVMe storage for transactions, paired with ClickHouse for ultra-fast analytics. Transactional data can be synchronized to ClickHouse in just a few clicks, unlocking significantly accelerated query performance and insights.
This launch extends ClickHouse’s strategic focus on Postgres integration, following its 2024 acquisition of PeerDB Inc. PeerDB’s technology already enables real-time data synchronization from Postgres to ClickHouse for hundreds of enterprise customers, demonstrating strong natural compatibility between the two systems.
“Postgres and ClickHouse have become foundational technologies for modern AI applications,” said Aaron Katz, CEO of ClickHouse. “With our native Postgres service, we’re unifying transactional and analytical workloads, so developers can build any type of application powered by AI on the best technical foundation. We’re excited to partner with Ubicloud and their world-class Postgres team to bring this offering to life.”
“Postgres and ClickHouse complement each other naturally and are key for AI applications. Together, we’re delivering an integrated stack that removes complexity for teams, with production-grade Postgres for transactions and ClickHouse for analytics working as one,” said Umur Cubukcu, Co-CEO, Co-Founder, Ubicloud. “We’re excited to join forces with ClickHouse at Ubicloud because this is how the open-source ecosystem wins: trusted teams building best-in-class products that work and grow together.”
Leading organizations already leverage Postgres for transactional workloads and ClickHouse for analytics in mission-critical, real-time applications. Companies such as GitLab, Instacart, Cloudflare, and Ramp benefit from this combination, and the native integration promises to streamline operations further.
Noah Pryor, CTO of Beehiv, a major ClickHouse user, expressed enthusiasm for the development: “We’re excited to see ClickHouse entering the Postgres ecosystem. At Beehiv, we rely heavily on both Postgres and ClickHouse to power our mission-critical, customer-facing applications. We’ve invested significant effort in integrating these technologies, so a tighter, more native integration between them would materially simplify our architecture.”
Developers can now sign up for the private preview of Postgres managed by ClickHouse. A detailed technical deep dive is available on the ClickHouse blog.
