StreetLight, transportation analysis platform

Altinity is a fully managed service that offers 24/7 support for faster queries, lower costs, and optimal performance. It has created a new analytics paradigm by reimagining what constitutes analytics infrastructure. It combines the speed of ClickHouse, a database management system that allows generating analytical data reports in real-time, along with data lake flexibility and cloud-native simplicity to enable organizations ranging from startups to enterprises to build real-time analytics applications without compromising on cost or flexibility. With this, Altinity’s users at OpenAI, IBM, and Lyft are accessing their data faster to fundamentally redefine the potential of analytics.

The firm embodies the best use of open source by prioritizing pull requests and fine-tuning optimization strategies. It has contributed over hundreds of PRs to ClickHouse in line with its belief in the best software emerging from transparent, collaborative development. Altinity does not just use open source; it builds the tools that make it better for everyone. It takes technical details seriously, and its passion is seen in the design of its open source projects. Furthermore, the firm has helped thousands of companies deploy ClickHouse on Kubernetes to utilize the full power of data on the latter.

Helping Organizations Achieve Optimal Performance

Altinity offers its services across two primary verticals, as follows:

Altinity.Cloud: Altinity is ClickHouse fully optimized from Day 1. It offers managed cloud services comprising proactive setup and optimization from the start, production-ready deployment, and smooth scaling as organizations’ data grows. It is reliable, scalable, and has a resilient database, offering high availability with minimal downtime; built-in redundancy and failover to keep organizations’ data secure, and is capable of handling massive workloads seamlessly. Altinity offers 24/7 elite support to resolve issues quickly before they impact operations and expert help at all times to help firms save time on debugging.

The firm also offers Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) for ClickHouse services, which allows organizations to run ClickHouse in their AWS, GCP, Azure, Hetzner, or Kubernetes environment. This is designed for teams with strict requirements around data ownership, compliance, security, and lost control. Teams can run ClickHouse anywhere to satisfy audit requirements, data residency laws, and internal policies without compromise. No vendor lock-in requirement allows for disconnecting the management plane at any time to continue running ClickHouse themselves. 24/7 hands-on support helps get direct access to engineers who resolve issues before they impact production from the first day, even during the free trial. Lastly, the services of Altinity’s ClickHouse experts are available, who are the second largest contributors to the ClickHouse project and creators of Altinity K8s operator, Altinity Backup for ClickHouse, and more.

Support for ClickHouse: Altinity provides 24/7 expert support for ClickHouse, extending from day-to-day problem solving to emergency situations. This is ideal for developers who want to deliver high-quality real-time analytics to their users. Altinity support provides “rainy day” insurance, with the world’s best experts helping organizations to fix any issues with their production system and preventing them from occurring in the first place. Altinity Stable Builds rely on production-certified ClickHouse binaries based on ClickHouse Long Term Support (LTS) releases. Altinity prioritizes reliability, which is why it provides 36 months of support for its builds. The firm also provides support for the Altinity Kubernetes operator, apart from offering unlimited consulting on ClickHouse and its ecosystem. It assists with every aspect of organizations’ projects, such as cluster and schema design, query optimization, etc. Moreover, Altinity offers multiple options to open cases to ensure organizations receive the best support for ClickHouse.

Altinity offers comprehensive support across areas such as service level agreements, reporting and inquiries, operations, performance, bug fixes, security, roadmap and upgrade, system audits, and feature engineering. The firm also provides POC and Evaluative Support, helping developers who have chosen ClickHouse for its unparalleled speed and efficiency, as well as those evaluating their database options. Altinity’s expert-led database evaluation and proof of concept provide organizations with the tools and support needed to make informed decisions. Additionally, the firm also provides Administrator Training for ClickHouse to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills to run ClickHouse efficiently and avoid problems in any environment. Thus, Altinity’s expansive list of services makes it a worthy recipient of the “Global Innovation Excellence Awards 2026.

Technical Leadership through Open Source Community

Altinity is fully committed to the open-source community by practicing technical transparency. It strives to help all organizations build and run the world’s most powerful real-time analytics applications while focusing on redefining the potential of data through collaboratively developing ClickHouse. The firm has risen through the ranks to become the second-largest contributor to the ClickHouse project by embodying the values of “hard technical truth” and collaborative problem-solving over corporate hierarchy at the workplace.

The firm creates a remote-first, globally distributed environment to support its employees by encouraging intellectual curiosity and engineering autonomy. The company also incentivizes developers to work directly on world-class open-source projects, thereby providing them the opportunity to make an impact on the global stage. Altinity provides employees a sense of purpose by allowing them to engage deeply with the community through pull requests and open-source design. A flat organizational structure and 24/7 peer collaboration support this culture of excellence, allowing members to grow as recognized experts in the cloud-native ecosystem.

Empowering Global Innovation Via Real-Time Data

As a premier fully managed service and support provider for ClickHouse, Altinity brings raw database performance and enterprise-grade reliability closer. The company empowers its target audience, ranging from high-growth startups like OpenAI to established giants like IBM, with both managed cloud solutions and Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOD) flexibility, to process large datasets quickly and cost-efficiently. The firm allows organizations to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure through its export-led support and production-certified builds, thereby removing the operational complexity of real-time analytics.

Furthermore, Altinity creates an environment of technical leadership and open-source to bring out the best in its employees. Engineers are entrusted with ClickHouse and Kubernetes ecosystems to ensure all team members are continuously challenged and professionally fulfilled. Thus, aligning business success with employee empowerment allows Altinity to lead the industry in data performance and cement its position in the modern analytics paradigm.  

We’re transforming how organizations handle real-time analytics by eliminating the tradeoff between performance, cost, and flexibility. Our vision is a world where every application can leverage powerful analytics without being constrained by infrastructure limitations or vendor lock-in.”
