Imply is a cloud and managed service built on Apache Druid for sub-second analytics on high-concurrency streaming and batch event data.

About

Imply is a real-time analytics platform and the commercial company behind Apache Druid, the open-source distributed analytics database designed for sub-second OLAP queries on event-driven data. Apache Druid was built to handle the unique requirements of interactive analytics on high-cardinality, high-concurrency event streams — use cases like user behavior analytics, application telemetry, network traffic analysis, and digital advertising metrics where data volumes are enormous and query response times must be fast regardless of concurrent user load. Imply packages Druid with a visual query interface, a managed cloud offering, and enterprise support that lower the operational barrier to running Druid in production.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California.
