This document summarizes Slack's use of Druid, an open-source analytics database, to measure performance of its API. It discusses Slack's growth from 5 employees and 350,000 active users in 2016 to 800+ employees and 6 million active users in 2017. It describes how Druid is used to store and query 500+ tables and handle 400,000 accesses to Slack's data warehouse per day. The document outlines Druid's infrastructure, including its use of Kafka for a near real-time pipeline and autoscale of historical and broker nodes. Finally, it discusses challenges faced like cascading failures, optimizing forward index fields, supporting SQL, and bridging batch and real-time tables.
