ClickHouse Consulting &
Managed Services
We've partnered with Quantrail Data, a premier ClickHouse consulting provider, to deliver fully managed ClickHouse and MinIO services on bare metal — open-source, flexible solutions with $0 egress fees, predictable pricing, and extreme automation.
What is ClickHouse?
ClickHouse is an open-source, column-oriented database management system designed for online analytical processing (OLAP). It can process analytical queries over billions of rows in real time, making it one of the fastest databases for analytics workloads. Through our partnership with Quantrail Data, we bring deep expertise in ClickHouse managed services — from deployment and data migration to ongoing optimization — with the open-source flexibility and extreme automation that modern data teams demand.
Bit Refinery's bare-metal infrastructure gives your ClickHouse deployment dedicated hardware with no noisy neighbors, $0 egress fees, and hybrid cloud options when you need them. Unlike cloud-hosted ClickHouse offerings, our predictable pricing eliminates cloud markup while delivering consistent, high-performance analytics at any scale. Whether you need ClickHouse consulting for a greenfield project or managed ClickHouse services for an existing deployment, our team has you covered.
