On this episode, we explore how Kong, a cloud-native API gateway, leverages Apache Druid for real-time data processing and analytics in their platform, Kong Konnect. Hiroshi Fukada, Staff Software Engineer at Kong, shares his insights on managing customer data through Kong Gateway and transitioning to Imply's managed Druid services to simplify their infrastructure. Discover the benefits of Druid, like low latency and ease of use, and learn about Kong's contributions to open source Druid, including the DDSketch extension for improved handling of long-tail distributions.
