Case Study: Tekion achieves faster observability and lower storage costs with ClickHouse Cloud

Tekion adopts ClickHouse Cloud to power application performance and metrics monitoring

Tekion, an automotive software company behind the Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC), needed a faster, more scalable way to power its internal observability stack for application performance monitoring (APM) and custom metrics. As its data volumes grew, the existing search-based system became slow, expensive, and hard to maintain, making it difficult for engineers and data scientists to retrieve individual transactions and debug issues in real time.

Tekion adopted ClickHouse Cloud to ingest and query large volumes of metrics data with much better performance and lower cost. With ClickHouse, Tekion cut two-month storage from 27TB to 2.5TB, handled peak ingestion of 1.2 million records per minute, reduced Spark resource usage by 25%, and lowered query latency by more than 10x to about 500 milliseconds for up to 14 days of lookback.
