At Clickhouse's recent Toronto meetup, hosted at Shopify's Toronto office, we had the pleasure of sharing our vision for modern data infrastructure with the local tech community. Our VP of Alliances & Partnerships, Mark Mezzapelli, demonstrated how organizations can unify their entire data stack – from ClickHouse to AI tools – in one operating system.

The Operating System for Data and AI

When we say Shakudo is the operating system for data and AI, we mean just like Windows or iOS manages your computing experience, we manage your entire data and AI stack. No more wrestling with complex integrations or drowning in DevOps overhead – we handle it all in one unified platform.

A Unified Stack That Drives Performance

In building modern data warehouses, we've found that bringing together best-in-class tools creates compound benefits. ClickHouse's incredible speed and low-latency queries are even more powerful when seamlessly connected to your ML models, ETL pipelines, and BI tools. When we recommend this unified approach to our clients, it's because we've seen firsthand how it transforms entire organizations – not just individual data operations.

What Makes a Modern Data Warehouse Truly Modern?

Through our work with leading organizations, we've identified several critical elements:

• Unified Performance: Lightning-fast queries from ClickHouse combine with ML capabilities and real-time processing
• Single Control Center: Manage your entire stack from one interface – from data ingestion to AI deployment
• True Flexibility: Swap any component in or out without disrupting your entire pipeline
• Enterprise-Grade Security: Your entire stack stays in your VPC, protected by robust RBAC and SSO
• Smart Scaling: Resources and costs scale intelligently across your entire platform

Real-World Success: Retail Analytics in Action

We recently worked with a major retail organization to revolutionize their data infrastructure. Here's how we brought it all together:

• Unified diverse data sources (POS terminals, online orders, inventory systems)
• Implemented both batch and stream processing
• Integrated best-in-class tools including:
  • ClickHouse for lightning-fast queries
  • Airbyte for reliable ETL
  • Kafka for streaming
  • MLflow for machine learning
  • And more, all managed through one interface

The Results Our Clients Are Seeing
