Real-time analytics platform and commercial company behind Apache Druid; purpose-built for sub-second OLAP queries on high-cardinality event streams like user behavior analytics, application telemetry, and digital advertising metrics at scale.
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.
