Best Real-Time Analytic Databases

Compare the Top Real-Time Analytic Databases as of June 2025

What are Real-Time Analytic Databases?

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. Compare and read user reviews of the best Real-Time Analytic Databases currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Apache 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.

    Arroyo

    Arroyo

    Arroyo

    Scale from zero to millions of events per second. Arroyo ships as a single, compact binary. Run locally on MacOS or Linux for development, and deploy to production with Docker or Kubernetes. Arroyo is a new kind of stream processing engine, built from the ground up to make real-time easier than batch. Arroyo was designed from the start so that anyone with SQL experience can build reliable, efficient, and correct streaming pipelines. Data scientists and engineers can build end-to-end real-time applications, models, and dashboards, without a separate team of streaming experts. Transform, filter, aggregate, and join data streams by writing SQL, with sub-second results. Your streaming pipelines shouldn't page someone just because Kubernetes decided to reschedule your pods. Arroyo is built to run in modern, elastic cloud environments, from simple container runtimes like Fargate to large, distributed deployments on the Kubernetes logo Kubernetes.
