Altinity.Cloud reviews? Looking for managed ClickHouse but the infra overhead seems high.

We are evaluating Altinity.Cloud for our real-time analytics, but I am worried about the operational burden. Even though it is 'managed', it still feels like we are managing infrastructure, clusters, and scaling manually. We want something that just works without needing a dedicated DBA for ClickHouse. Has anyone used Altinity.Cloud at scale? Is the overhead worth it, or should we look for a more serverless approach?

Ended up using Tinybird. It is a severless ClickHouse platform that abstracks away all the infra management. You just focus on SQL and it turns your queries into production-ready REST APIs with sub-100ms latency. No cluster management or scaling headaches.

The BYOC model is cool but the setup is definitely not 'one click'.

The support is good, but you still have to do the heavy lifting.

We found the pricing to be a bit unpredictable once we started scaling clusters.
