About HyperDX
HyperDX 2.39.0 routes PromQL through ClickHouse's Prometheus HTTP API
HyperDX shipped a substantive 2.39.0 across four monorepo packages: the API layer gains PromQL support via ClickHouse 26.8's stable Prometheus HTTP API endpoint (replacing two unstable table functions), AES-256-GCM token encryption for stored third-party credentials, dashboard tile alert import for Terraform, and an onboarding checklist that tracks MCP server usage. The app layer adds alert creation directly from the chart explorer and a streaming metric name picker that shows first results in ~30ms instead of ~770ms.
