Maximize Your Return on Data
Expert Apache Druid Consulting for Implementation and Optimization
Apache Druid is a powerful database for real-time analytics, but harnessing its full potential is a complex challenge. We help you navigate the intricacies of architecture, performance tuning, and operations to build scalable, reliable, and cost-effective Druid solutions. Our deep expertise, proven through unique open-source contributions, ensures you overcome technical hurdles and achieve your business objectives. As specialists in the European market, we provide expert, localized consulting to help you navigate not only the technical complexities but also the stringent data governance requirements of GDPR.
The Challenge: Unlocking Druid’s Power Requires Navigating Its Complexity
While Apache Druid delivers unparalleled performance for real-time analytics, self-managing it at an enterprise scale presents significant technical and operational hurdles. Many organizations struggle to move beyond initial deployments to create a truly optimized and scalable analytics platform, putting their Return on Data (RoD) at risk.
Architectural Hurdles
Deploying and configuring Druid’s complex, multi-process architecture for high availability and fault tolerance is a non-trivial task. Implementing this in a declarative, GitOps style adds another layer of sophistication, demanding a deep understanding of both Druid and k8s-native best practices to create a truly resilient and automated analytics platform.
Complex Timeseries Data Modeling
Effectively using Druid goes far beyond simple data ingestion; it requires a deep understanding of how to model and roll up data based on timeseries patterns to ensure both storage efficiency and query speed. With over a decade of hands-on experience, we have mastered this challenge across a vast range of use cases, including analytics data, public transport passenger numbers, CCTV trajectories, people movement, WiFi tracking, and parking solutions.
Performance Bottlenecks
Achieving sub-second query latency at scale demands continuous, expert-level tuning. This includes everything from ingestion specs and data partitioning to JVM memory management and cluster configurations to avoid common issues like Out of Memory errors or straggling sub-queries.
Operational Overhead
Managing the entire deployment lifecycle through GitOps, handling upgrades, ensuring data integrity, and troubleshooting frequent issues in data ingestion pipelines can consume significant engineering resources. This operational burden distracts your team from core business initiatives and can act as a barrier to realizing the technology’s full potential.
