[ClickHouse Playground](https://play.clickhouse.com) allows people to experiment with ClickHouse by running queries instantly, without setting up their server or cluster.
Several example datasets are available in Playground as well as sample queries that show ClickHouse features. Theres also a selection of ClickHouse LTS releases to experiment with.
ClickHouse Playground gives the experience of m2.small [Managed Service for ClickHouse](https://cloud.yandex.com/services/managed-clickhouse) instance (4 vCPU, 32 GB RAM) hosted in [Yandex.Cloud](https://cloud.yandex.com/). More information about [cloud providers](../commercial/cloud.md).
You can make queries to Playground using any HTTP client, for example [curl](https://curl.haxx.se) or [wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/), or set up a connection using [JDBC](../interfaces/jdbc.md) or [ODBC](../interfaces/odbc.md) drivers. More information about software products that support ClickHouse is available [here](../interfaces/index.md).

## Implementation Details {#implementation-details}
2020-03-23 15:27:19 +00:00
ClickHouse Playground web interface makes requests via ClickHouse [HTTP API](../interfaces/http.md).
The Playground backend is just a ClickHouse cluster without any additional server-side application. As mentioned above, ClickHouse HTTPS and TCP/TLS endpoints are also publicly available as a part of the Playground, both are proxied through [Cloudflare Spectrum](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/cloudflare-spectrum/) to add an extra layer of protection and improved global connectivity.

!!! warning "Warning"
Exposing the ClickHouse server to the public internet in any other situation is **strongly not recommended**. Make sure it listens only on a private network and is covered by a properly configured firewall.
