Apache Druid Deep Dive (In person Meetup)

Come join us in Boston to learn about one of the Apache Foundation's top projects, Apache Druid!

Druid is a columnar, OLAP database that's used to achieve low latency, interactive analytics off TBs-PBs of streaming + batch data.

Join us to hear how and why hundreds of companies like Netflix, Reddit, Cisco, Walmart and FactSet Research Systems built their modern analytics applications with Druid as their storage and query engine.

Topics will include:
- IoT, customer behavior, logging, clickstream, ML/anomaly detection and fraud prevention use cases.
- How Druid is able to query data from Kafka and Kinesis streams so quickly.
- How Druid's built to handle 100s-1000s of QPS.
- Druid demonstration via Imply Pivot UI
