-

Our Verdict

Compelling unified ClickHouse observability that undercuts Grafana Cloud on cost, with less polish.

Pros

  • Single ClickHouse backend for logs, metrics, traces, profiles
  • Drop-in Loki, Prom, Tempo and Pyroscope compatibility
  • Dramatically lower storage cost at scale
  • Managed and self-hosted options

Cons

  • ClickHouse operations expertise required for self-host
  • Managed service newer than Grafana Cloud
  • Query performance tuning can surprise teams
  • Smaller support org than Grafana Labs
Best for: Teams using Grafana OSS who want cheaper managed storage via ClickHouse. Not for: Teams wanting turnkey Datadog-style experience with heavy hand-holding.

When to Use Gigapipe

Good fit if you need

  • ClickHouse-backed logs storage with Loki-compatible API
  • Unified observability with Prometheus, Tempo, and Loki
  • Cost-efficient telemetry with columnar compression
