An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Apache Druid is an open source online analytical processing (OLAP) database that supports both traditional batch as well as real-time streaming data. It has become the predominant open-source product in this category.
Imply helps to drive the Druid project and offers an enterprise offering based on Druid. This offering provides management, support, and services for a Druid-based DBaaS service.
Imply’s particular focus is supporting developers who are building analytics-based applications. This focus differs from typical OLAP-centric vendors who provide analytics tools for data analysts.
This developer experience simplifies data ingestion by providing a single API endpoint for push-based ingestion. Imply also offers a built-in Kafka streaming service and a visualization tool.
