Greetings, Panchito. Thanks for your comment. This series of articles is called "broad and growing", since each Technological Giant has its own set of open apps that is continually increasing and improving. Therefore, we go one by one seeing what apps make it up and what benefit can be obtained from them. We will explore to see, if the name (title) for future installments can be improved.
It's good, but not everyone has petabytes to analyze with that program.
Greetings ArtEze! Thanks for your comment. They are certainly useful and interesting open apps. In particular, ClickHouse is a development focused on high volumes of data, but it will surely work well with small volumes. It is seen that, it is more oriented to be useful to large organizations with a lot of data to process, instead of small organizations, such as communities or groups.
