About Imply
Imply provides a full-stack, multi-cloud data platform built around the open-source Apache Druid database, which was created by Imply's founders. The company offers two main products: Imply Polaris, a fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS), and Imply Enterprise, a self-hosted software package. The platform is engineered for high-concurrency, low-latency analytical queries on massive, streaming, and historical datasets. Key use cases include observability, product analytics, IoT, and business intelligence. Imply enhances Druid with a comprehensive UI for data visualization and management, simplified cluster operations, performance monitoring, and enterprise-grade security features.
