Now serving more than 5,000 customers, ClickHouse is introducing new capabilities spanning Postgres, observability and security, alongside its acquisition of Xata, challenging established vendors across the enterprise
SAN FRANCISCO — November 9, 2026 — ClickHouse, the leading data platform for AI, today announced a major platform expansion that unifies traditionally siloed systems as AI agents push enterprise data infrastructure to its limits. ClickHouse also announced it has acquired Xata, the agent-native Postgres company, giving developers and AI agents isolated, production-like data environments on demand. These updates integrate a transactional database, observability, cybersecurity, and AI engineering into a single, composable platform to simplify operations for enterprises grappling with spiraling AI costs and complexity.
The expansion comes as AI agents are changing how applications interact with data, generating unpredictable bursts of queries as they explore and iterate across multiple systems. As enterprises deploy agents at scale, these more intensive and variable workloads threaten to overwhelm fragmented data infrastructure and multiply cost, creating an urgent need for systems built to handle massive query volumes more efficiently.
To address these demands, ClickHouse is expanding across the four workloads now at the center of enterprise AI infrastructure. ClickHouse Managed Postgres brings transactional data onto the platform; ClickHouse Observability and ClickHouse Security, built on technology from its September acquisition of RunReveal, bring logs, traces, and security telemetry alongside it; and Langfuse, the open-source AI engineering platform ClickHouse acquired in January, adds an AI Gateway that gives organizations visibility and control over how AI models are used across their applications. All of it runs on the same open, composable foundation as ClickHouse’s analytics engine, so developers and the agents they deploy can build, observe, and secure data-intensive applications in one place, with the cost efficiency to run them at scale.
Bolstering the Managed Postgres product within the expanded ClickHouse platform are powerful new capabilities enabled by ClickHouse’s acquisition of Xata. The new functionality will enable developers to instantly branch and clone databases, creating isolated Postgres environments for development and testing, while also laying the foundation for a dedicated tier designed for AI agents.
Enterprises including DoorDash, Ramp, Meta, Tesla, Cisco and Visa rely on ClickHouse for data-intensive workloads at scale. Mercado Libre, Latin America’s leading commerce and fintech platform, processes 400 million spans per minute on ClickHouse for observability, with 75x faster queries and roughly 89% compression that have significantly reduced its infrastructure costs. Others are consolidating workloads onto the platform, among them, Physical Intelligence, which is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world.
“Building robotics foundation models means making sense of billions of annotations and telemetry records,” says Karan Dhabalia, Engineer at Physical Intelligence. “We started with ClickHouse for observability, then expanded into real-time analytics, Postgres, and AI development with Langfuse. This shared foundation simplifies operations and helps our researchers develop better models. With ClickHouse Security now in private preview, we’re excited to see the platform grow."
ClickHouse Managed Postgres is generally available today in ClickHouse Cloud. ClickHouse Observability is available in public beta, and ClickHouse Security in private preview, with access by request. The open-source Langfuse AI Gateway is available today in public beta. Instant database branching, cloning, and scale-to-zero environments from Xata, along with a dedicated tier for AI agents, are planned additions to ClickHouse Managed Postgres.
