Rockset: Real-Time Analytics at Cloud Scale

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Conventional wisdom suggests that building indices in real-time on streaming data to support real-time analytics is impossible.

Rockset has dispelled this conventional wisdom. Its core IP is its converged index, which includes search, row, and column indices that operate simultaneously in real-time. The result is fast SQL-based analytics on real-time data.

The platform offers schemaless ingestion and outputs results via a REST API and SDK as well as SQL over JDBC. In addition, Rockset can pre-aggregate data upon ingestion, leveraging a simple SQL query that acts as a lightweight real-time transformation on incoming data feeds.

Rockset delivers blisteringly fast performance in large part because the company architected the product to take full advantage of the cloud. It’s also surprisingly simple to use, with no need for query tuning or data pipeline construction.
