As digital transformation accelerates, enterprises face the challenge of collecting, processing, and analyzing massive amounts of data. ClickHouse is widely used by developers because of its fast analysis speed and high performance.
As a bridge between the client and the database, the gateway also plays a key role at the performance level. A good gateway not only improves performance and availability, but also provides security and manageability for the system. Although the mainstream ClickHouse gateway chproxy is widely used, it also has certain limitations.
As a cloud-native data warehouse launched by Volcano Engine, ByteHouse not only provides users with an extremely fast analysis experience, but also supports real-time data analysis and offline analysis of massive data, and continuously optimizes the performance bottleneck of ClickHouse to achieve greater breakthroughs in query and computing efficiency.
Recently, Volcano Engine ByteHouse Enterprise Edition has been upgraded based on the CHPROXY gateway of ClickHouse to further release the powerful query capabilities of the OLAP engine and provide users with the ultimate user experience.
First of all, ByteHouse Enterprise Gateway is more universal and can adapt to multiple types of requests, languages, and management tools. Secondly, the gateway of ByteHouse Enterprise Edition is more flexible and convenient, and it builds a "through train" between users and the backend, so that users can directly operate and obtain the information they want. Finally, ByteHouse Enterprise Edition supports alerting and monitoring of gateways. In addition, some extended functions not only enhance the query capabilities of ByteHouse, but also expand the query scope, making it easier to switch between ByteHouse Enterprise Edition and ClickHouse.
So what are the differences between ByteHouse and the mainstream component chproxy?
Comparison of the capabilities of ByteHouse gateway and ClickHouse chProxy
At the functional level, the ByteHouse gateway supports HTTP and TCP protocols, and the delivery mode supports any node, specified node, and all nodes, providing more comprehensive gateway capabilities. In terms of performance, especially in batch data writing scenarios, bytehouse has faster performance than chproxy. In terms of user experience, on the one hand, the ByteHouse gateway has the advantages of out-of-the-box use and low switching cost, and on the other hand, it also supports the functions of direct connection to ClickHouse and monitoring and alarm integration.
In the future, ByteHouse will continue to optimize and improve high-performance gateway components to meet the needs of more business scenarios and provide more efficient, flexible, and secure data analysis support.
