en.Wedoany.com Reported - ClickHouse Inc. made several announcements at its second annual user conference, Open House 2026, revealing that the annual recurring revenue (ARR) of its serverless cloud product has exceeded $250 million, representing more than a threefold increase compared to the same period last year. Since January 2026, the company has added over 1,000 net new customers, bringing its total customer count to 4,000.
To address the demands of artificial intelligence workloads, ClickHouse launched ClickHouse Agents, a fully managed intelligent analytics service powered by Anthropic's Claude. It also released CostBench, an open benchmark for comparing the cost performance of major cloud data warehouses, and introduced its first formal partner program, House Mates. When ClickHouse completed its $400 million Series D funding round in January 2026, its customer count had just surpassed 3,000; one quarter later, it exceeded 4,000, with ARR breaking through the $250 million mark. Recently added and expanded customers include Capital One, Lovable, Decagon, Polymarket, and Airwallex, joining an existing customer base that features Anthropic, Meta, Cursor, Sony, Tesla, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Lyft, and Instacart. Customer speakers at Open House 2026 included Visa, Cisco, Intuit, Shopify, DoorDash, Mercado Libre, Vercel, Weights & Biases, Zoox, and Jump Trading, while partner speakers and sponsors included Anthropic, AWS, Google, Microsoft, dbt Labs, Fivetran, Temporal, Hex, and Sigma.
ClickHouse CEO Aaron Katz stated that AI workloads require the performance and cost efficiency that ClickHouse was built for, and the past quarter's performance demonstrates a structural shift in data infrastructure responsibilities. ClickHouse Agents is a fully managed intelligent analytics service within ClickHouse Cloud, powered by Claude. It is a no-code agent builder that allows users to define, configure, and deploy agents based on ClickHouse data. The service includes a chat interface, a sandboxed code interpreter, shareable widgets, skill management, memory, and multi-agent workflows, natively connecting to ClickHouse and any MCP-compatible third-party systems, with native integration into the AWS Agent Registry. This product is part of ClickHouse's broader investment in AI application-generated workloads, including high-concurrency queries, agent-driven analytics, model training telemetry, and end-to-end observability for AI systems. Specific initiatives also include: Managed Postgres, now in public beta, offering transactional state and high-throughput analytics; Managed ClickStack, now available as a fully managed service for infrastructure and model training observability; Langfuse, acquired in January, providing agent observability including AI correctness, evaluation, and model cost tracking; Full-text search, now generally available, with automatic query optimization enabling ClickHouse to match mature data warehouses in TPC-H and other standard JOIN benchmarks; and ClickHouse Cloud offering intelligent onboarding and cross-region replication capabilities.
Furthermore, ClickHouse released CostBench, an open and reproducible benchmark that generates directly comparable per-query cost results across ClickHouse Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift by applying each vendor's actual compute billing model to the same analytical workloads. Tests showed that ClickHouse Cloud was the only system consistently in the "fast and low-cost" zone across different data scale sizes, with the closest competitor lagging 23 times behind in cost performance. ClickHouse also launched its first formal partner community and program, House Mates, debuting with over 25 technology partners and more than 35 service, consulting, and channel partners from six continents, including dbt Labs, Fivetran, Sigma, Notion, Temporal, Tiger Analytics, DoIT, Ciklum, and MegazoneCloud. The program is divided into three tracks—Technology, Services, and Reseller—each with three tiers: Ignite, Accelerate, and Prime. Benefits increase with each tier and include joint go-to-market activities, co-innovation and integration support, enablement and certification, incentives, and a dedicated partner portal.
