The Rise of Immediate Intelligence

Decision making is changing: Apache Druid is a new type of database for creating the next generation of analytics applications that maximise flexible exploration over fresh, fast-arriving data. In this talk, Sergio introduces these new "immediate intelligence" applications, tells the story of Druid's emergence, and describes how data pipelines built with Druid differ from those you may already be familiar with.
