Building For Fast

ClickHouse is known for being fast. Fast at ingesting data. Fast at querying data. But how do we achieve this? Is a slower release a major regression? Or just something to be concerned about? How does the ClickHouse engineering team think about performance? In this talk, Alexey will share a bit of the 'internals' of ClickHouse. How we engineer for performance, why we ask for external benchmarks, performance testing in CI pipeline, etc. To build a fast database, you need a vision, a team, and process. We will discuss all 3 of these.
