# WaveHouse Cloud

> Managed WaveHouse + ClickHouse: real-time analytics APIs with schema-aware ingest, SSE streaming, and tiered caching — zero ops. We run it; you ship.

**Supabase for ClickHouse.**

The managed platform that runs ClickHouse and the open-source WaveHouse gateway — so you ship real-time analytics APIs without operating any of the backend.

## Features

- **Managed ClickHouse + WaveHouse** — Both halves of the stack, run for you. We provision, secure, upgrade, back up, and scale ClickHouse and the WaveHouse gateway — you never get paged.
- **Schema-aware real-time ingest** — Stream events in with async, per-table batching. WaveHouse discovers your ClickHouse schema automatically — no brittle pipelines to hand-maintain.
- **Instant secure APIs** — Turn queries into named, parameterized REST endpoints with column-level authorization and bearer-token auth. From table to production API in minutes.
- **Streaming + tiered caching** — Real-time SSE streaming for live dashboards, plus tiered query caching that keeps hot reads fast and your compute costs down.
- **Autoscaling, usage-based** — Infrastructure that scales with your traffic and settles back down — start tiny, absorb a spike, and pay for what you actually use.
- **Open-source core, no lock-in** — Built on the Apache-licensed WaveHouse project. Run it yourself anytime — Cloud is the managed convenience, never a cage.

## How it works

1. **Create a project** — Spin up a WaveHouse Cloud project and get a managed ClickHouse instance with the WaveHouse gateway already wired in front of it.
2. **Add your data** — Create your tables in the managed ClickHouse — or load data you already have. WaveHouse reads the schema directly from ClickHouse, then you define named query pipes and ingest endpoints.
3. **Ship real-time APIs** — Get secure, cached, real-time REST + streaming endpoints. Push inserts, query from anywhere, and let us handle scaling and uptime.

## The managed stack, not another box to run

| DIY ClickHouse + gateway | WaveHouse Cloud |
| --- | --- |
| Provision and tune ClickHouse clusters | Managed, tuned, and upgraded for you |
| Build and operate an API gateway | WaveHouse gateway included and run for you |
| Hand-roll auth, batching, and caching | Column-level auth, async batching, tiered cache built in |
| Own scaling, backups, and on-call | Autoscaling, backups, and uptime are our job |
| Weeks to a production API | Minutes to a production API |

## FAQ

### What is WaveHouse Cloud?

WaveHouse Cloud is Supabase for ClickHouse: a managed platform that hosts both ClickHouse and the open-source WaveHouse gateway, so you can build real-time analytics APIs without operating any of the underlying infrastructure.

### How is this different from ClickHouse Cloud or Tinybird?

ClickHouse Cloud manages the database and stops there — you still build the ingest and API layer yourself. Tinybird gives you that layer, but it's closed and proprietary. WaveHouse Cloud manages both: standard ClickHouse plus the open-source WaveHouse gateway for schema-aware ingest, named API endpoints, column-level auth, and real-time SSE streaming. Think open-source Tinybird — and because the core is open source, you can self-host the exact same gateway with no lock-in.

### Is it open source?

The WaveHouse gateway at the core of the service is open source (see github.com/Wave-RF/WaveHouse). WaveHouse Cloud is the managed hosting, scaling, and operations layer on top.

### Can I self-host instead?

Yes. WaveHouse is open source and documented at wavehouse.dev. Cloud exists for teams who would rather not run ClickHouse and the gateway themselves.

### When does it launch?

We're building toward launch and onboarding early users in batches. Join the waitlist and we'll email you once, when your access opens.
