Read MoreA good operational analytics solution should be able to handle high volume and complex event-driven data as well as rapidly explain trends and patterns in data.
Read MoreOperational analytics is used to explain why any particular trend, anomaly, or pattern occurs in data. Operational analytics isn’t about asking one question of data, it is about asking many, often iterative questions, and using the answer of one question to inform the next question, until an actionable insight is reached.
Read MoreThe analytics space is filled with many technologies, each focused on solving a different piece of the myriad of problems that comes with working with data at scale. While many products tackle data transport, storage, compute, or visualization, few focus on explaining why trends or anomalies occur.

We heard a lot of positive feedback as many people prefer to use SQL over Druid’s native JSON-over-HTTP interface. The most common question we hear about PlyQL is how one can interface to it programmatically either from user created apps or from existing SQL based BI tools.
Read MoreEverything is going to fail. If this is your first time working with or building out a distributed system, the fact that everything is going to fail may seem like an extremely scary concept, but it is one you will always have to keep in mind.
Read MoreI recently read a great article by Jeffrey Heer, Michael Bostock, and Vadim Ogievetsky that showcases the various techniques for visualizing and interacting with diverse data sets. I thought it may be useful to write something similar to showcase the various open source systems that exist in the “big data” space, including Druid, which is an open source data store I work on.
Read MoreA large part of what we do at Imply is help organizations build custom applications and visualizations on top of their data. While Druid is a powerful backend for powering applications, there are aspects of the development process that could definitely be easier. To enable people to better understand the power of Druid, we have released Pivot, an exploration UI that makes the most of the power of the Druid database.
Read MoreToday, Gian Merlino, Vadim Ogievetsky, and I are extremely excited to announce Imply, a company for interactive analytics at scale, centered around the Druid open source data store. We first began working on Druid at a startup called Metamarkets, and over the last few years, we’ve been proud to watch the project grow and take on a life of its own.
