“Developers and organizations, now more than ever, need a cloud database platform to expand their applications with real-time data. Meeting our customers where their data resides, on their preferred cloud platform, is a central part of that journey," said FJ Yang, CEO and Co-founder of Imply. "Providing the flexibility to operate across various cloud service providers is a significant advantage in today’s multi- and hybrid-cloud world. I’m excited to see the new products and experiences our customers will unlock on Microsoft Azure."

Imply Polaris provides a true database-as-a-service for Apache Druid, one of the leading real-time analytics databases used by developers at thousands of organizations, including Confluent, Netflix, Target, and Salesforce to power real-time analytics applications.
Developers choose Apache Druid when they need to serve sub-second queries on terabytes to petabytes of streaming and batch data at hundreds to thousands of queries per second. When deciding on a Druid deployment model, developers choose Imply Polaris for its ability to decrease time to market, increase developer productivity, and lower the overall cost of running Druid.
“I call Imply Polaris a five-minute analytics infrastructure,” said Csaba Kecskemeti, Senior Development Manager at Zillow Group. “You can get from zero to a table with test data and build dashboards with the drag-and-drop-style report builder in literally no more than five minutes.”
