The acquisition combines ClickHouse's unmatched performance and scalability with HyperDX's developer-first experience, creating a comprehensive observability platform that seamlessly integrates session replay, exceptions, logs, infrastructure metrics, and distributed tracing through an OpenTelemetry-native approach.

“ClickHouse’s analytics capabilities and open ecosystem make it a powerful technology for observability. However, the end-user experience lacked some of the comprehensive features of more established solutions. HyperDX is very exciting, bringing together an enhanced query experience with a more intuitive UI for exploratory observability workflows.”
Viktor Eriksson, Lovable

"Observability is fundamentally a data problem," said Tanya Bragin, VP of Product & Marketing at ClickHouse. "The dataset size dictates how difficult and expensive it will be to build an observability platform. That's why ClickHouse has been the backbone of observability platforms for years, powering logging, metrics, and tracing solutions at companies like eBay and Netflix."

ClickHouse originally explored new observability solutions while transitioning from Datadog to their in-house LogHouse stack (How we Built a 19 PiB Logging Platform with ClickHouse and Saved Millions), which was built on ClickHouse to handle their petabyte-scale workloads. During this process, they discovered HyperDX and saw how easily it could transform an existing ClickHouse deployment into a full observability platform.

"When we started HyperDX, we had two core beliefs: we wanted to build the best open-source observability platform, and ClickHouse was the ONLY database to power it," said Michael Shi, CEO at HyperDX. "Our mission has always been to help engineers diagnose and resolve production issues faster, and ClickHouse has been a foundational part of that journey from day one."

The Future of Open-Source Observability

Through conversations, the companies discovered they shared the same vision:

Observability should be cost-effective and developer-friendly
ClickHouse's performance and scalability make it the best foundation for observability
HyperDX's developer-first experience makes it effortless for teams to implement

The integration provides numerous benefits, including:

Standards-Based Data Collection – Both ClickHouse and HyperDX are committed to OpenTelemetry, with ClickHouse now maintaining the ClickHouse OpenTelemetry exporter
Open-Source First – Making robust observability accessible to everyone, with cloud offerings providing a simple, cost-effective operational experience
Flexible Data Access – Direct access to observability data with multiple analysis options
Blazing Fast Performance – Query terabytes in seconds for real-time troubleshooting

HyperDX Cloud will continue serving and onboarding new customers, and the open-source project will remain actively maintained and developed. At the same time, the joint roadmap focuses on bringing even more powerful observability tools to engineers.
