Analytics of stats data is a frequently faced problem by organizations that have online businesses. Doing real time analytics on this data is very important to take right business decisions. Sokrati’s solution for this problem uses sharded columnar databases as data warehouse. Using this technology query results are returned in milli-seconds on data-sets that span 100s of GBs.
