The solution combines Last9 Glassbox (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) with Altinity's managed ClickHouse service, where Altinity's SREs and DBAs handle all database operations. Key benefits include full data ownership, no vendor lock-in via an open-source stack, capacity-based pricing (flat cost regardless of ingestion spikes), and no forced migrations at contract renewal. The partnership was motivated by Last9's own scale challenges at 545M events per minute. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is capacity-based pricing for observability and how does it differ from ingestion-based pricing? Capacity-based pricing charges for the cluster resources provisioned rather than the volume of telemetry events sent, so the bill stays flat even if traffic spikes during a sale or an incident. Ingestion-priced observability bills scale directly with event volume, meaning a traffic doubling can double the bill, which becomes costly at high scale. _Compare observability pricing models on daily.dev before your telemetry costs outgrow your infrastructure._ ### Why would a company run ClickHouse in their own cloud account instead of using a managed database provider? Running ClickHouse in your own cloud account, with a specialized partner like Altinity handling SRE and DBA operations, keeps full data ownership while avoiding the need to build in-house ClickHouse expertise. Handing database operations to a generic managed-database provider undermines the point of bring-your-own-cloud, since you'd still be trusting someone else with your data. _Track bring-your-own-cloud database strategies for ClickHouse and observability on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Introducing ClickStack Cloud: Serverless observability powered by ClickHouse](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-clickstack-cloud-serverless-observability-powered-by-clickhouse-k0sfd4jti) · ClickHouse · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [7 Observability Solutions for Full-Fidelity Telemetry](https://daily.dev/posts/7-observability-solutions-for-full-fidelity-telemetry-z4sznixmd) · Last9 · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [See everything, own your data: the Giant Swarm Observability Platform](https://daily.dev/posts/see-everything-own-your-data-the-giant-swarm-observability-platform-apn6qnhua) · Giant Swarm · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [ClickStack: A \(half\) year in review](https://daily.dev/posts/clickstack-a-half-year-in-review-vyjehpfbh) · ClickHouse · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Have you heard?
