Always enjoyed his lecture series from CMU, hopefully those continue in a sponsored format from Clickhouse.

Clickhouse Labs is a research lab for ClickHouse’s engineers and their db product?

Whatever floats your boat. Sounds like you just work as an engineer at a db company

> The goal of ClickHouse Labs is to establish a best-in-class industry research organization focused on databases. It will not operate as an isolated research organization that throws ideas over the wall to engineering. Instead, we will work closely with ClickHouse engineers, customers, collaborators, and industry partners to develop and disseminate new ideas that keep ClickHouse at the bleeding edge.

This is cool, though bittersweet that the public research infrastructure (universities) is not really configured to support this kind of high-impact research any more.

That's great news for Clickhouse and for Andy I guess, they are both obsessed with databases and are at the cutting edge.

Congrats, that's incredible news. Watched apavlo@'s lectures while studying in the university and finished my bachelor thesis implementing features and doing research at ClickHouse. Surprised to see these worlds being together now!

Hi Andy, that’s very cool news. Will you be at the HPTS workshop in October?

Congratulations, Andy! This sounds like a great opportunity and continues your bet that SQL always wins out in the end.

What idea are you most excited about to work on first?

> ClickHouse had features that at the time were only found in a handful of closed-source, commercial analytical DBMSs. For example, ClickHouse was written in C++ and supported vectorized query execution using SIMD in 2016. Most prominent open-source analytical DBMSs in 2016 were JVM-based and did not support SIMD optimizations until years later.

Performance is a feature. "Written in C++" is a strange idea of a feature.
