Deep Dive into VeloDB Cloud: The Modern Cloud-Native Real-Time Data Warehouse
AI agents can push databases to their limits: firing thousands of queries, demanding instant answers, and accessing every kind of data. Apache Doris was designed for this high-pressure environment, delivering real-time, low-latency, high-concurrency analytics.
Now, with VeloDB Cloud, you can get the same speed and scale of Doris in a fully managed, cloud-native service.
In this deep dive, we cover how VeloDB Cloud can help:
- Meet the demand of AI & agents: Massive concurrency, millisecond latency, multi-modal data.
- Smarter architecture: Compute-storage decoupled architecture for up to 90% lower storage cost, caching, and workload isolation.
- Open & flexible: Query Iceberg, Hudi, and other table formats directly from your data lake.
- Use your fav cloud: SaaS or Bring Your Own Cloud, available on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Apache Doris Buzz
We are excited to announce that Apache Doris Summit 2025 is around the corner! Our annual community event will take place in November 2025, bringing together developers, users, and partners from around the world to share insights, best practices, and the latest innovations.
This year, we will explore the theme of Powering Real-Time Analytics & Search in the AI Era. As AI transforms industries at an unprecedented speed, real-time analytics has become more critical than ever. The Summit will explore how Apache Doris is powering modern data architectures, enabling organizations to achieve lightning-fast analytics across scenarios such as real-time dashboards, observability and log analytics, data lakehouse queries, and AI-driven workloads.
Beyond the technical deep dives, the Summit is also a celebration of our open-source community, showcasing the contributions, collaborations, and creativity that make Apache Doris thrive.
Call for Speakers Is Now Open!
We warmly invite Apache Doris developers, users, and partners to submit topics and share your stories with the community. Whether it's a real-world use case, a technical deep dive, or a forward-looking perspective, your contribution will help inspire and empower others. Let's come together at Apache Doris Summit 2025 to shape the future of real-time analytics in the AI era!
- New benchmarks are in!
In RTABench, the benchmark built to mirror real-world, millisecond-level workloads, Apache Doris outperforms the competition: 6x faster than ClickHouse, 30x faster than PostgreSQL, and 100x faster than MongoDB.
Designed for scenarios like live dashboards, trading platforms, and tracking systems, Apache Doris delivers the speed, concurrency, and cost efficiency that real-time applications demand.
Apache Doris consistently delivers significantly faster performance in large-scale benchmarks spanning both straightforward JOINs and production-grade TPC-H/TPC-DS workloads. Test results show that Apache Doris is 2-3x faster than ClickHouse and 3-8x faster than Snowflake. On top of that, Apache Doris requires just around 20% of the cost of Snowflake or ClickHouse for OLAP workloads.
Events
Watch the recording: Apache Doris Deep Dive
We had an incredible session with Rayner Chen, Apache Doris PMC Chair, who gave a comprehensive introduction to Apache Doris and its capabilities. Rayner walked us through real-world use cases across real-time analytics, observability & log analytics, and lakehouse query engines, while also comparing Apache Doris with other well-known databases like Snowflake, Trino, ClickHouse, and Elasticsearch.
