Druid: Build a Fast, Real-Time Data Analysis System Training Course

Druid is an open-source, column-oriented, distributed data store written in Java. It was designed to quickly ingest massive quantities of event data and execute low-latency OLAP queries on that data. Druid is commonly used in business intelligence applications to analyze high volumes of real-time and historical data. It is also well suited for powering fast, interactive, analytic dashboards for end-users. Druid is used by companies such as Alibaba, Airbnb, Cisco, eBay, Netflix, Paypal, and Yahoo.
In this course we explore some of the limitations of data warehouse solutions and discuss how Druid can compliment those technologies to form a flexible and scalable streaming analytics stack. We walk through many examples, offering participants the chance to implement and test Druid-based solutions in a lab environment.
