FAQ

A real-time analytics database is a database system designed to process and analyze data as it is generated, providing insights and results in real-time. Some examples of databases for real-time analytics include CrateDB, SingleStore, StarTree, and InfluxDB. CrateDB excels in ingesting, indexing, storing, and querying large amounts of data within milliseconds, enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions and respond to dynamic trends quickly.

Real-time data refers to information that is gathered and processed immediately upon being generated. Examples include data from social media feeds, live customer interactions, and IoT devices. CrateDB's flexible data modeling allows for the collection and storage of a wide range of data types from diverse sources, such as enterprise applications, analytics platforms, and sensor networks.

Real-time data collection can be achieved through various methods such as streaming data ingestion, API integrations, or real-time data capture tools. CrateDB supports fast data ingestion and processing, handling millions of data points per second.

Real-time data is typically stored in databases or high-speed data stores designed to handle rapid data processing. CrateDB utilizes columnar storage to compute data aggregations on demand without downsampling or pre-aggregation, facilitating dynamic and immediate analysis of large datasets.

An example of real-time analysis could be a live dashboard displaying website visitor behavior or a system monitoring tool tracking server performance in real-time. Learn how O-CELL's real-time monitoring solution helps reduce the environmental impact with CrateDB >
