ClickHouse has come out of seemingly nowhere to rival Elasticsearch as the database-related open source software project with the most active contributors. Runa Capital’s Konstantin Vinogradov continued his ongoing work with open source metrics in a new blog post that analyzed GitHub data for 358 of the 735 databases listed on dbdb.io. In his analysis, an active contributor is defined as anyone who makes a commit within a 12-month period of time.

ClickHouse is column-oriented and allows for analytics reports to be generated using SQL queries in real-time.

CockroachDB, Prometheus, MongoDB, and TrinoDB were in the second group of contenders with 150–170 active contributors.
