Read-only ClickHouse cost & performance optimizer — local demo CLI

OptiHouse — local demo CLI

Read-only ClickHouse cost & performance optimizer you run on your own machine. Point it at a cluster and it reads system.* tables in read-only mode, estimates where storage and compute money is leaking, and shows you the top opportunities — without connecting your cluster to any service. Your credentials and data never leave your machine.

The full analysis (every finding, the exact $ figure, and ready-to-apply SQL fixes) lives at https://optihouse.io.

Install

pip install optihouse

To scan a real cluster, also install the driver:

pip install "optihouse[clickhouse]"

Try it in 10 seconds (no cluster needed)

optihouse scan --demo

Runs against a bundled synthetic cluster so you can see exactly what the tool produces before pointing it at anything real.

Scan your own cluster (read-only)

optihouse scan --host clickhouse.internal --user readonly --password '***'
# TLS:
optihouse scan --host ch.example.com --port 9440 --secure --user readonly --password '***'

Everything is SELECT-only against system.*. No writes, no agents, no data rows read, nothing sent anywhere.

Privacy

The CLI only issues read-only queries against ClickHouse system tables (table sizes, part counts, column codecs, aggregated query_log patterns). It does not read your data rows and does not transmit anything off the host.
