For people getting started with Apache Druid, this lesson takes a developer through all the key planning phases for a Druid project, including purpose, queries, data sources, visualization, infrastructure, and documentation.

This lesson outlines various approaches to generating synthetic data for nonproduction uses, including data requirements and programmatic generation.

It’s easy to ingest batch data into Druid, turning files into full-indexed, high-performance tables using SQL commands. This lesson provides an overview of ingesting data from batch sources with in-database transformation capabilities and overall workflow automation.

This lesson outlines the key considerations when ingesting data from streaming pipelines including Apache Kafka and Amazon Kinesis. It includes information on Data Sources, Schema Definition, Ingestion Spec, and Monitoring.

Temporal and real-time data have always been the cornerstones of Apache Druid, making it a natural fit for IoT applications that collect and analyze real-time sensor data. However, there was a subset of functionality that was available in other time-series databases that was missing from Druid. With the recently released time series extension from Imply, that gap has been closed, and Imply now has the ability to perform advanced time series analysis.
