The record

Purpose: Teiid provides data virtualization that integrates data from multiple sources through a single uniform API.
Data storage: Teiid does not store data; it acts as an interface or data gateway to underlying sources.
Client interfaces: Teiid supports JDBC, ODBC, OData, and REST access to virtualized data.
Federated queries: Applications can join and union data from dissimilar sources as if they were one source.
Virtual databases: A virtual database combines components from multiple sources behind a single uniform API.
Connectors: Built-in translators are listed for Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and files; custom translators can also be created.
Query optimization: The engine uses an optimizer and source capability information to push query work to sources where possible.
Deployment: The documented runtimes include Spring Boot, WildFly, embedded Java, and OpenShift.
Security: The FAQ describes Teiid as providing a secure data access layer, and the distributions page says WildFly provides security configuration options.
Source access requirements: Connecting to sources commonly requires third-party drivers that are not included with Teiid.
Who it is for: The FAQ identifies Java developers integrating multiple enterprise data sources, especially those targeting OpenShift, as likely users.
Workload limitation: The FAQ says Teiid may not be effective for big data workloads, LDAP-style virtualization, or primarily streaming workloads.
Deprecated tool: Teiid Designer is deprecated and no further releases are expected.
Support and community: The site directs users to the Teiid community for chat and identifies the project as open source under the Red Hat umbrella.
