Guide: Connect Druid to Tableau for sub-second dashboards

Rill emphasizes the importance of data interoperability and flexibility with visualization tools, providing a guide on integrating the performance of Druid, a real-time analytics database, with the interactivity of Tableau to create sub-second dashboards for operational analytics. Druid excels at executing fast OLAP queries on time-series data, and when connected with industry-standard analytics tools like Tableau, it offers a swift and interactive user experience. Rill's managed cloud service for Druid facilitates this integration, allowing users to create dashboards using public datasets available in Rill's workspace by leveraging the speed of Druid. Users can log into Rill's Cloud Console with a G-Suite account to access datasets, query them through the Apache Druid console, and connect via Tableau after setting an API password. This integration underscores Druid's capability to provide fast query access using SQL, making it compatible with various business intelligence tools, with future guides planned for other BI tool integrations.
