title: "Introducing ClickStack Cloud: Serverless observability powered by ClickHouse"
description: "ClickStack Cloud is entering private preview as a fully managed, serverless observability service built on ClickHouse for teams that want ClickHouse-powered logs, metrics, and traces without operating the underlying infrastructure. Users send OpenTelemetry data to a managed OTLP endpoint, while the service handles ingestion, durable buffering through an object-storage-backed event queue, scaling, storage, and query serving, then exposes telemetry in the ClickStack UI with integrated authentication and RBAC. The preview separates ingestion and query resources and is developing automatic tuning based on query patterns, including materialized fields, primary-key adjustments, materialized views, and indexes. Dedicated query compute for agentic and high-volume analytical workloads is planned after the preview, while pricing remains unfinished and the existing Managed ClickStack offering remains intended for teams requiring direct infrastructure and schema control."

# Introducing ClickStack Cloud: Serverless observability powered by ClickHouse

[Clickhouse](https://yomu.fyi/company/clickhouse) · May 27, 2026

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

ClickStack Cloud is entering private preview as a fully managed, serverless observability service built on ClickHouse for teams that want ClickHouse-powered logs, metrics, and traces without operating the underlying infrastructure. Users send OpenTelemetry data to a managed OTLP endpoint, while the service handles ingestion, durable buffering through an object-storage-backed event queue, scaling, storage, and query serving, then exposes telemetry in the ClickStack UI with integrated authentication and RBAC. The preview separates ingestion and query resources and is developing automatic tuning based on query patterns, including materialized fields, primary-key adjustments, materialized views, and indexes. Dedicated query compute for agentic and high-volume analytical workloads is planned after the preview, while pricing remains unfinished and the existing Managed ClickStack offering remains intended for teams requiring direct infrastructure and schema control.

## Context

Teams want the performance, scale, and cost efficiency of ClickHouse for observability but do not want to operate ingestion, storage, query infrastructure, or make decisions about scaling and schema design. The announcement also addresses bursty observability traffic and workloads that combine continuous telemetry ingestion with interactive investigation.

## Approach / What changed

ClickStack Cloud provides a managed OTLP endpoint and ClickStack UI for logs, metrics, and traces. It manages ingestion, buffering, scaling, storage, and query serving, using a durable object-storage-backed event queue and infrastructure that can scale ingestion separately from query resources. During preview, it is developing automatic datastore tuning from query patterns and plans dedicated query compute for agentic workloads.

## Takeaways

- Managed ingestion uses a durable event queue backed by object storage and allocates resources according to incoming traffic patterns and ingestion pressure.
- ClickStack Cloud separates ingestion and query resources, allowing write infrastructure to scale independently from query infrastructure for differing observability workloads.
- Dedicated query compute for agentic and high-volume analytical workloads is under active development and is expected after private preview; pricing has not been finalized.
