Apache Doris

Apache Doris is a high-performance, real-time analytical database based on MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) architecture, governed by the Apache Software Foundation. It provides MySQL-protocol-compatible SQL queries, sub-second query latency on large-scale data, columnar storage with vectorized execution, real-time upsert via Stream Load and Routine Load APIs, and federated querying over data lakes (Hive, Iceberg, Hudi). It supports both shared-nothing and storage/compute-separated deployment modes.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Apache Doris the way a machine reads it — 36 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Apache Doris scores 45.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Apache Doris

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Apache Doris. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Apache Doris

Apache Doris provides a MySQL-compatible protocol for SQL queries, a REST API for cluster management and monitoring, Stream Load HTTP API for real-time bulk data ingestion, Rout...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Features 8

The notable capabilities this provider advertises, captured as structured features so they can be searched and compared instead of read one landing page at a time.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

MPP Columnar Analytics

Massively parallel processing with columnar storage and vectorized execution engine for high-concurrency sub-second analytical queries.

Stream Load API

HTTP-based bulk data ingestion API that loads CSV, JSON, and Parquet data in real time with transactional guarantees.

MySQL Protocol Compatibility

Fully MySQL-wire-protocol compatible, enabling use of standard MySQL clients, drivers, and BI tools without modification.

Federated Data Lakehouse Queries

Query external data in Hive, Iceberg, Hudi, and Delta Lake tables without data movement using Multi-Catalog.

Real-Time Upsert (Unique Key Model)

Primary key based upsert model supports real-time CDC data ingestion with micro-second latency row-level updates.

Routine Load from Kafka

Continuous data ingestion from Apache Kafka topics with automatic offset management and exactly-once semantics.

Tiered Storage

Hot/warm/cold data tiering with object storage (S3, HDFS) for cost-optimized storage at scale.

MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling AI agents to query Doris databases through natural language.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 3

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
