What are Distributed Databases?
Distributed databases store data across multiple physical locations, often across different servers or even geographical regions, allowing for high availability and scalability. Unlike traditional databases, distributed databases divide data and workloads among nodes in a network, providing faster access and load balancing. They are designed to be resilient, with redundancy and data replication ensuring that data remains accessible even if some nodes fail. Distributed databases are essential for applications that require quick access to large volumes of data across multiple locations, such as global eCommerce, finance, and social media. By decentralizing data storage, they support high-performance, fault-tolerant operations that scale with an organization’s needs.

ClickHouse
ClickHouse
ClickHouse is a fast open-source OLAP database management system. It is column-oriented and allows to generate analytical reports using SQL queries in real-time. ClickHouse's performance exceeds comparable column-oriented database management systems currently available on the market. It processes hundreds of millions to more than a billion rows and tens of gigabytes of data per single server per second. ClickHouse uses all available hardware to its full potential to process each query as fast as possible. Peak processing performance for a single query stands at more than 2 terabytes per second (after decompression, only used columns). In distributed setup reads are automatically balanced among healthy replicas to avoid increasing latency. ClickHouse supports multi-master asynchronous replication and can be deployed across multiple datacenters. All nodes are equal, which allows avoiding having single points of failure.
