"Centralized logging is crucial for understanding application behavior in Kubernetes, but the cost of storing those logs can quickly spiral out of control. ClickHouse is changing that narrative. It provides a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to traditional logging stacks, delivering lightning-fast query speeds that significantly reduces your infrastructure overhead. In this blog post, we're going to build a high-performance logging pipeline from the ground up. Let's look at how to: Deploy ClickHouse on Minikube for lightning-fast, cost-effective log storage"
"We can see real time logs in Grafana as shown in the screenshot No more paying premium prices for third-party logging services. By self-hosting ClickHouse on Kubernetes, you take full control of your observability stack - achieving enterprise-grade performance on infrastructure you own and operate. From seamlessly collecting logs across your cluster with Fluent Bit to visualizing them in real-time through Grafana, high-performance logging has never been more accessible or affordable."
ClickHouse provides a high-performance, cost-effective backend for centralized logging on Kubernetes, offering fast SQL queries, strong compression, and scalable storage. Deploying ClickHouse on Minikube enables local testing and low-cost storage. Fluent Bit serves as the lightweight, high-throughput log collector and forwarder from Kubernetes pods into ClickHouse. Grafana connects to ClickHouse as a datasource to visualize logs in real time using SQL. Typical pipeline steps include starting Minikube, deploying ClickHouse, running a log generator, installing Fluent Bit, creating ClickHouse tables, and configuring Grafana dashboards. Self-hosting reduces third-party costs while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and control over observability infrastructure.
