What is Apache Kylin

Learn about Apache Kylin, the leading open source extreme OLAP engine for accelerating Big Data analytics.

An extreme OLAP Engine for Big Data

Open sourced in October of 2014, and graduated to an Apache Top-Level Project in November 2015, Apache Kylin has become the leading open source OLAP (Online Analytic Processing) engine for Big Data. Apache Kylin provides sub-second query latency on trillions of records and integrates existing Hadoop and BI systems seamlessly. It is a powerful framework in the Big Data landscape and has been adopted by thousands of organizations worldwide.

A recognized leader in Big Data and OLAP

Recognized throughout the Big Data analytics and OLAP technology industry for its global impact on streamlining analytics operations, Apache Kylin has been awarded InfoWorld’s Bossie Awards for Best Open Source Big Data Tool 2015 & 2016.

Apache Kylin's original team formed Kyligence

To better serve the sophisticated needs of global enterprises, the team behind Apache Kylin launched Kyligence. Leveraging the transformative power of extreme OLAP on Big Data, Kyligence provides a suite of capabilities and improvements not found in Apache Kylin to offer a commercial, enterprise-level OLAP analytics solution for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
