Observability - a year in review. With the start of the new year, it feels like the right moment to pause and reflect on a year that was pivotal for observability at ClickHouse and for me personally. As Head of Product Management for Observability, my focus throughout 2025 was building ClickStack and working closely with customers, partners, and the broader community to rethink what scalable observability should look like. In May 2025, ClickHouse introduced ClickStack with a simple goal: make high-performance observability on ClickHouse accessible to everyone. Until then, teams either built their own user interfaces on top of ClickHouse or relied on more generic visualization tools like Grafana. By pairing ClickHouse with the HyperDX UI, ClickStack removes that friction and allows teams to immediately benefit from ClickHouse's compression and fast query execution optimized for logs, traces, and metrics. For a detailed reflection on what 2025 looked like for ClickStack itself, see its earlier blog. Here, I want to focus instead on a few broader observations about how the observability landscape shifted over the past year, shaped by my conversations with its users, time spent at conferences, and ongoing discussions across the observability community.
