Apache Doris is a real-time analytical database that is easy to use and highly performant, based on an MPP (massively parallel processing) architecture. It requires a response time of less than a second to return results on huge volumes, and handles both high-concurrency ad-hoc queries and high-throughput complex analyses.

Doris is designed for reporting, ad-hoc querying, unified data warehousing, and query acceleration on data lakes. Data can be flattened into wide tables and written via compute engines like Flink or Spark, or imported directly, then modeled using views, materialized views, or real-time multi-table joins.

It exposes an efficient SQL interface and remains fully compatible with the MySQL protocol, allowing you to reuse existing drivers, BI tools, and queries without rewriting.
