What does HackerNews think of clickhouse-operator?
The Altinity Operator for ClickHouse creates, configures and manages ClickHouse clusters running on Kubernetes
Language:
Go
#38
in
Kubernetes
I don't know him but most of his GitHub activity seems to be contributing to the ClickHouse ecosystem, including popular projects like this one: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator
My point is just that he doesn't appear to be someone complaining and not contributing.
Altinity is doing a good job of this with Clickhouse. They offer some decent open source guides for self hosting[0] and offer a hosted option. The hosted option is as self serve as I'd like (you have to get "approved").
ClickHouse works great on Kubernetes. Check out the ClickHouse Operator for Kubernetes. [0] We just added a UI to it, blog article out shortly.

Don't use helm. The ClickHouse Kubernetes Operator is the way to go. Here's the project: https://github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-operator
This is generally true for most databases these days. Use an operator if it's available. Helm can't handle the dynamic management required to run databases properly.
