Your dashboard timed out
during a customer demo.

Analytics bolted onto a transactional database works until it does not. We design and run the systems built for the query shapes you actually have.

Petabyte scale Snowflake to ClickHouse migration with zero downtime. Row counts and checksums validated on both sides before cutover.

The symptoms that bring teams here.

Queries that used to be fast

Two seconds became forty seven. The table grew, the ordering key did not change, and nothing was re partitioned.

A warehouse bill nobody defends

Compute is billed by the second and your dashboards refresh on a schedule nobody set deliberately.

Pipelines that fail silently

Consumer lag climbs overnight and the first person to notice is a customer looking at yesterday data.

A migration everyone fears

The move off Postgres or Snowflake has been on the roadmap for four quarters because nobody wants to own the cutover.

What we actually do here.

MergeTree schema design, codec selection, sharding, TTL tiering and migration validation. The unglamorous work that decides whether the cluster holds.

See the whole stack
01

Read the system tables

Flame graphs and query logs, not guesses. The profile tells us which knob matters before anything gets tuned.

02

Fix the schema first

Ordering keys aligned to real queries, column specific codecs that cut storage 40 to 60 percent, materialised views for the expensive aggregations.

03

Migrate with proof

Your production queries run against both systems. Row counts and checksums match before a single reader is switched over.

04

Tier the cold data

TTL policies move old partitions from NVMe to object storage automatically, so the bill stops tracking your total history.

P.S. At a 47K monthly warehouse bill, one quarter of waiting costs more than the migration.
