The distinction between OLTP and OLAP is becoming less relevant as data architectures shift toward entities and events. In this session, we’ll delve into how Apache Druid’s event-first approach synthesizes entities from streams, playing a crucial role in modern, decomposed databases. We’ll explore real-world examples of how Druid helps teams navigate complex queries and evolving infrastructure. This discussion aims to share how Druid’s unique perspective on event-centric data querying is shaping the way we think about modern data systems.
