Druid: A Real-Time Analytics Database

Druid is an open-source project designed to provide a high-performance, real-time analytics database that excels at powering UIs, running operational (ad-hoc) queries, or handling high concurrency. Its main value add is reducing time-to-insight and action, making it an ideal solution for workflows where fast queries and ingest really matter.

Main Features

Druid offers a rich set of APIs (via HTTP and JDBC) for loading, managing, and querying your data. Key features include:

• Load Data: Load streaming and batch data using a point-and-click wizard to guide you through ingestion setup.
• Manage the Cluster: Manage your cluster with ease, viewing datasources, segments, ingestion tasks, and services from one convenient location.
• Issue Queries: Use the built-in query workbench to prototype DruidSQL and native queries or connect one of the many tools that help you make the most out of Druid.

Druid also provides a web console for interacting with the system, allowing users to monitor data loads, manage clusters, and issue queries. Additionally, Druid supports various APIs and protocols, including RDP, SSH, and more.
