Compare

Compare hypequery against the main ClickHouse TypeScript options

These pages are for teams trying to decide what to keep and what to replace. Start with the comparison that matches the tool or pattern you already use, then move into implementation only if the tradeoff is actually clear.

Tradeoffs, not feature checklists

Pick a path, then quick start

Built for real evaluations

Each page is written around the actual switch a team might make, not a generic feature checklist.

Linked to implementation

If a comparison is useful, it should get you into the docs quickly rather than trapping you in more comparison content.

Opinionated about fit

The goal is to clarify where hypequery fits and where the other tool should remain the right choice.

hypequery vs @clickhouse/client

@clickhouse/client is still the right low-level transport layer. hypequery is the better fit when the application also needs generated schema types, reusable query definitions, and a typed API surface on top of ClickHouse.

Do not linger in comparison mode longer than necessary. Once one path looks right, test it against your own schema and one real query.
