Apache Druid 101

Data Con LA 2020 Description Apache Druid is a cloud-native open-source database that enables developers to build highly-scalable, low-latency, real-time interactive dashboards and apps to explore huge quantities of data. This column-oriented database provides the microsecond query response times required for ad-hoc queries and programmatic analytics. Druid natively streams data from Apache Kafka (and more) and batch loads just about anything. At ingestion, Druid partitions data based on time so time-based queries run significantly faster than traditional databases, plus Druid offers SQL compatibility. Druid is used in production by AirBnB, Nielsen, Netflix and more for real-time and historical data analytics. This talk provides an introduction to Apache Druid including: Druid's core architecture and its advantages, Working with streaming and batch data in Druid, Querying data and building apps on Druid and Real-world examples of Apache Druid in action Speaker Matt Sarrel, Imply Data, Developer Evangelist
