ClickHouse Cloud Cost Optimization
Cut your ClickHouse Cloud bill. OhChimp finds services with idle scaling disabled, long idle timeouts, and compute waste, then proves it on your bill.
How does OhChimp connect to ClickHouse Cloud?
With an organization API key (Admin or Developer role) over HTTP Basic auth, using the key ID and key secret. OhChimp reads your organizations, your service inventory with idle-scaling config, and the usageCost billing API. Every call is read-only, and it verifies the key at connect time so an under-privileged key is caught immediately.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my data?
No. OhChimp uses read-only API calls to list services and read billed cost. It never writes to your account, and it never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents. Dollar figures come straight from ClickHouse Cloud's own usageCost billing, where one ClickHouse Credit equals one US dollar.
What ClickHouse Cloud costs does OhChimp actually reduce?
The main one is compute that bills continuously because idle scaling is disabled or has no idle timeout set, so the service never pauses. OhChimp also flags idle timeouts set too long for bursty workloads, breaks each service into compute, storage, backup, and data-transfer cost, and surfaces spend hidden across multiple organizations.
Who applies the changes, and can they be rolled back?
You do. Each fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and you are always the one who clicks. OhChimp applies the matching code and infrastructure changes together.
How are ClickHouse Cloud savings verified, and what does it cost?
Against your real ClickHouse Cloud bill. A plan is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks, otherwise it stays flagged "not implemented". Pricing is a flat monthly fee, OhChimp never takes a cut of your savings, and paid plans carry a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in the first 12 months.
