Apache Pinot™ powers customer-facing applications and AI-driven systems with fresh data, sub-second queries, and high-concurrency analytics. From interactive dashboards to LLM-powered decision engines, Pinot delivers millisecond latency at petabyte scale.
Originally developed at LinkedIn, Apache Pinot is an open-source distributed OLAP datastore for user-facing and agent-facing real-time analytics, delivering sub-second queries on fresh data at very high concurrency.
With its distributed architecture and columnar storage, Apache Pinot empowers businesses to gain valuable insights from real-time data — powering both customer-facing applications and AI-driven decision systems.

Filter and aggregate petabyte data sets with P90 latencies in the tens of milliseconds — fast enough to return live results interactively in the UI.
With user-facing applications querying Pinot directly, it can serve hundreds of thousands of concurrent queries per second.
Ingest from Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and AWS Kinesis in real time. Batch ingest from Hadoop, Spark, AWS S3, and more. Combine batch and streaming sources into a single table for querying.
Ingest the same record many times, but see only the latest value at query time. Upserts are built-in and production-tested since version 0.6.
Choose from pluggable indexes including timestamp, inverted, StarTree, Bloom filter, range, text, JSON, and geospatial options.
Pinot is horizontally scalable and fault-tolerant, adaptable to workloads across the storage and throughput spectrum.
The highly standard SQL query interface is accessible through a built-in query editor and a REST API.
Manage and secure data in isolated logical namespaces for cloud-friendly resource management. Learn more about multitenancy.
