Ask HN: Opinions on Apache Druid engine

[coldpencil]

Hi, is there anyone who has deep insights into Apache Druid?

I have some questions about it

- Is Druid recommendable in terms of its performance and functions? - If you are in the actual use of Druid, for which purpose are you utilizing it and which benefits does it provide? - How is it compared to other time-series databases? - We are thinking of linking Druid-processed data with BI tools. If you are currently linking Druid-processed data with other next-steps what would that be?

I would really appreciate your advice thanks!

We haven't used Druid yet. We did a high level comparison among Druid, Clickhouse & Pinot from material available on the internet. Apparently, all 3 have similar mechanisms. But druid is a little expensive to deploy when at a smaller scale. Clickhouse seems to be performant too. We seem to be inclining towards Clickhouse.

I appreciate it! Druid has been in our priority as we need to process data on a very large scale. I see your point that Druid might be a little expensive when deploying at a small scale! Thanks!
