The article compares the performance of ClickHouse and PostgreSQL, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in handling analytical queries and data processing. It emphasizes ClickHouse's efficiency in large-scale data management and real-time analytics, making it a suitable choice for high-performance applications.
A benchmark is introduced to evaluate the impact of database performance on user experience in LLM chat interactions, comparing OLAP (ClickHouse) and OLTP (PostgreSQL) using various query patterns. Results show ClickHouse significantly outperforms PostgreSQL on larger datasets, with performance tests ranging from 10k to 10m records included in the repository. Users can run tests and simulations using provided scripts to further explore database performance and interaction latencies.
