What are Real-Time Analytic Databases for Apache Kafka?
Real-time analytics databases are database systems that enable businesses to access and analyze data in near real-time. These systems allow companies to make decisions quickly based on up-to-date information, rather than relying on periodic reports from other databases. Real-time analytic databases typically have powerful processors capable of handling complex queries and vast amounts of data. They also support modern features such as distributed computing, automated data management, secure sharing of sensitive information, and elastic scalability. Such advanced capabilities help organizations gain deeper insights into their customers' behavior so they can take appropriate action swiftly.

Apache Druid
Druid
Apache Druid is an open source distributed data store. Druid’s core design combines ideas from data warehouses, timeseries databases, and search systems to create a high performance real-time analytics database for a broad range of use cases. Druid merges key characteristics of each of the 3 systems into its ingestion layer, storage format, querying layer, and core architecture. Druid stores and compresses each column individually, and only needs to read the ones needed for a particular query, which supports fast scans, rankings, and groupBys. Druid creates inverted indexes for string values for fast search and filter. Out-of-the-box connectors for Apache Kafka, HDFS, AWS S3, stream processors, and more. Druid intelligently partitions data based on time and time-based queries are significantly faster than traditional databases. Scale up or down by just adding or removing servers, and Druid automatically rebalances. Fault-tolerant architecture routes around server failures. -
