Decentralized URL Engine for ClickHouse

URLENG is a public decentralized service running on Cloudflare Workers and utilizing Deta Cloud for unlimited storage - like a pastie for ClickHouse tables

The goal is to enable separate ClickHouse servers to access external distributed tables hosted on the cloud to share any type of data and information between nodes and other APIs in real-time through the native URL Engine and Functions.

Usage

The following examples illustrate basic usage for distributed INSERT and SELECT statements using serverless URL Engine tables

Public Access Point

  • https://urleng.com/{yoursupersecretkeygoeshere}

You're about to create your very own serverless, storage persistent URL Engine table - accessible from anywhere. Since there are no logins or signups, all data is hidden in public. Your protection is the secret URL path so choose wisely.

INSERT
:) INSERT INTO FUNCTION url('https://urleng.com/supersecret', JSONEachRow, 'key String, value UInt64') VALUES ('hello', 1), ('world', 2)
SELECT
:) SELECT * FROM url('https://urleng.com/supersecret', JSONEachRow);

β”Œβ”€key───┬─value─┐
β”‚ hello β”‚     1 β”‚
β”‚ world β”‚     2 β”‚
β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”΄β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜

2 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.126 sec.
URL ENGINE
:) CREATE TABLE default.url_engine_distributed
       (
           `key` String,
           `value` UInt64
       )
       ENGINE = URL('https://urleng.com/supersecret', 'JSONEachRow')
:) INSERT INTO url_engine_distributed VALUES ('hello', 1), ('world', 2)
:) SELECT * FROM url_engine_distributed

β”Œβ”€key───┬─value─┐
β”‚ hello β”‚     1 β”‚
β”‚ world β”‚     2 β”‚
β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”΄β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜

2 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.185 sec.

That's all it takes! Enjoy your serverless table for any purpose.
