Real-time analytics with the operational simplicity Snowflake users expect.

sovereigntyDoris aims at the gap between ClickHouse's speed and a warehouse's ease: MySQL-compatible protocol, so existing clients and BI tools connect unchanged, real-time ingestion, materialised views maintained automatically, and considerably less tuning than ClickHouse demands. Apache Software Foundation governance, Apache-2.0, around 16k stars. It is the option to look at when the team wants ClickHouse economics but nobody wants to become a ClickHouse specialist.
