As the head of global field engineering and community at Imply, Rachel Pedreschi is passionate about engaging both externally with customers and internally with departments all across the board, from sales to engineering. Rachel’s involvement in the open source community focuses primarily on Apache Druid, a real-time, high-performance datastore that provides fast, sub-second analytics and complements another powerful open source project as well: Apache Kafka®. Together, Kafka and Druid provide real-time event streaming and high-performance streaming analytics with powerful visualizations.
