Imply is a company founded by the creators of Druid, that aims to help organizations with exploratory analytics at scale using Druid.[1]
People
Imply's co-founders previously worked together for several years on Druid and the ecosystem around Druid as early stage employees of Metamarkets, a San Francisco-based data startup.[2] Imply's co-founders are:
- Fangjin Yang, who is one of the original co-authors of Druid
- Gian Merlino
- Vadim Ogievetsky, who was previously involved in the development of D3.js
History
In 2011, the Druid project was started at Metamarkets to power the analytics product at the company. The project was open sourced in October 2012 under the GPL license.[3][4] Over time, notable organizations including Netflix[5] and Yahoo[6] adopted the project into their technology stacks. The increased adoption led Metamarkets to change the license of the project to Apache.[7] With the growing popularity of the open source project, the creators of the project at Metamarkets decided to form Imply. In October 2015, Imply announced that it had raised $2 million from Khosla Ventures.[8]
Relation with Druid
Imply, founded by the team that created Druid, an open-source data store, is closely involved with the development of the project. Imply continues to make contributions to Druid and drive its roadmap.[9]
