Imply, San Francisco, the USA, was founded by Fangjin Yang, Gian Merlino, and Vadim Ogievetsky in 2015. Previously, they developed Apache Druid, which now is the base for Imply platform. Druid is an open-source data store that uses process clusters to analyze a large number of real-time and historical data. Imply is an “enterprise” version of Druid, together they provide more capabilities and services than Druid as a standalone project. “Applications built on Imply’s database are accessed by many thousands of users. Druid is unlocking a whole new world of analytics use cases, and it’s creating tremendous value for organizations as they undergo digital transformations,” Fangjin Yang, CEO of Imply. Among Imply’s 150 customers are Atlassian, Cisco ThousandEyes, InterContinental Exchange, and Reddit.
