Druid is described as 'Open-source analytics data store designed for business intelligence (OLAP) queries on event data. Druid provides low latency (real-time) data ingestion, flexible data exploration, and fast data aggregation' and is an app. There are five alternatives to Druid for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Self-Hosted, Windows and BSD apps. The best Druid alternative is ClickHouse, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Druid are Apache Pinot, StarRocks, ViyaDB and MatrixOne.
ClickHouse is an open source column-oriented database management system capable of real time generation of analytical data reports using SQL queries.
Apache Pinot is a real-time distributed OLAP datastore, built to deliver scalable real-time analytics with low latency. It can ingest from batch data sources (such as Hadoop HDFS, Amazon S3, Azure ADLS, Google Cloud Storage) as well as stream data sources (such as Apache Kafka).
StarRocks, a Linux Foundation project, is a next-generation sub-second MPP OLAP database for full analytics scenarios, including multi-dimensional analytics, real-time analytics, and ad-hoc queries. InfoWorld’s 2023 BOSSIE Award for best open source software.
MatrixOne is a hyper-converged cloud and edge native DBMS that supports transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads with a simplified and distributed database engine, across multiple data centers, clouds, edges and other infrastructures.
