Case Study: Superwall achieves durable, scalable subscription analytics with WarpStream and ClickHouse Cloud

How Superwall Uses WarpStream and ClickHouse Cloud to Scale Subscription Monetization

Superwall, a company providing subscription monetization for mobile apps, needed a low-maintenance data stack to handle 100 MB of events per second and 300+ TB of data for real-time analytics. Their initial setup with Apache Kafka and a self-managed ClickHouse instance on EC2 was operationally intensive and costly, requiring constant disk resizing and management.

By adopting WarpStream for Kafka-compatible streaming and migrating to ClickHouse Cloud for analytics, Superwall built a cohesive, ops-free pipeline. This WarpStream and ClickHouse solution reliably streams over 100 MB of events per second, manages a 300+ TB dataset that grows by 40 TB monthly, and provides the durable, scalable foundation needed for their customer dashboards and new AI-driven features.
